I also use jupyter for this, but my goto is tablib. for anyone who hasn't used it, it's super easy to switch between tabular data formats. you create an instance of their Dataset class, then assign your data to the appropriate property, and all of the other properties are your data in the respective format

for instance:

  from tablib import Dataset

  json_array_of_objects = '[{"header": "data1"}, {"header": "data2"}]'
  ds = Dataset()
  ds.json = json_array_of_objects
  
  ds.csv # data formatted as a csv
  ds.xlsx # excel, only useful on a binary read or write
  ds.dict # list of dictionaries
  ds.json # list of dictionaries converted to json
  ds.jira # table formatted for jiras markup
  ds.html # html table
  # and more

they used to vendorize dependencies, so everything worked out of the box, but now some features need to be installed specifically, or do pip install tablib[all], which is kind of annoying. I suspect they started doing it when they included support for pandas dataframes, because they didn't want to vendorize all of pandas. or force it to install as a requirement.
