I am trying to save a pandas DF into a in-memory json_buffer and the load the file to S3 using the following code:

json_buffer = StringIO()
df.to_json(json_buffer, orient='records', date_format='iso', compression='gzip')
json_file_name = file_to_load.split(".")[0] + ".json"
s3_conn.put_object(Body=json_buffer.getvalue(), Bucket=s3_bucket, Key=f"{target_path}{json_file_name}")

When I try to apply compression I get this error:

RuntimeWarning: compression has no effect when passing a non-binary object as input.\

how can still apply the compression and save the JSON file to S3 with .gz compression?

Thank you!

Got it to work, I will share my how it worked out for me using BytesIO and gzip:

json_buffer = BytesIO()

with gzip.GzipFile(mode='w', fileobj=json_buffer) as gz_file:
  df.to_json(gz_file, orient='records', date_format='iso')

json_file_name = file_to_load.split(".")[0] + ".json.gz"
s3_conn.put_object(Body=json_buffer.getvalue(), Bucket=s3_bucket, Key=f"{target_path}{json_file_name}")
