How can I save the output of Document Intelligence as a JSON file locally?

Question

I have used Azure's Document Intelligence with my model to analyze a few documents. Now, I want to store this output in a JSON format locally. From what I have read online, the output given by Document Intelligence is already in JSON format. An example code that stores Doc Intelligence's output locally as a JSON file would be extremely helpful.

Hi @Harsh Khewal,

Thank you for reaching out to us with your query about saving the output of Azure's Document Intelligence as a JSON file locally. I'd be happy to help you with that.

Here is an example code that uses the Azure Form Recognizer SDK to analyze a document and saved the output as a JSON file:

from azure.core.credentials import AzureKeyCredential
from azure.ai.formrecognizer import DocumentAnalysisClient

import json

# Your Azure Form Recognizer endpoint and API key
endpoint = "<YOUR_ENDPOINT>"
key = "<YOUR_API_KEY>"

# Initialize the DocumentAnalysisClient
credential = AzureKeyCredential(key)
document_analysis_client = DocumentAnalysisClient(endpoint, credential)

# The local file path to the document you want to analyze
document_path = r"<path/to/your/document.pdf>"
# Submitting the document for analysis
with open(document_path, "rb") as f:
    analyze_result = document_analysis_client.begin_analyze_document("prebuilt-layout", document=f).result()

# Convert the analysis result to JSON
result_json = analyze_result.to_dict()

# Save the JSON to a local file
output_json_path = "output.json"
with open(output_json_path, "w") as output_file:
    json.dump(result_json, output_file, indent=4)
print("Analysis result saved to:", output_json_path)

I hope this helps. Thank you.
