[Python] How can I efficiently iterate over a large JSON object in Python to extract specific...

I'm working with a large JSON object in Python, and I need to extract specific values based on certain keys. Here's a simplified version of the JSON structure:

{
"data": [
{
"id": 1,
"attributes": {
"name": "Item 1",
"value": "Value 1"
}
},
{
"id": 2,
"attributes": {
"name": "Item 2",
"value": "Value 2"
}
}
]
}



I want to extract the "name" and "value" pairs from each object in the "data" list. What would be the most efficient way to iterate over this JSON object and extract these values?

I've considered using a for loop to iterate over each item, but I'm wondering if there's a more Pythonic or efficient way to do this, especially when dealing with large datasets. Any advice or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

I initially tried using a simple for loop like this:

for item in json_data['data']:
name = item['attributes']['name']
value = item['attributes']['value']
print(f"Name: {name}, Value: {value}")



This works for smaller datasets, but I’m concerned about performance and scalability with larger JSON objects. I was hoping to find a more efficient or Pythonic approach, especially if there are libraries or techniques that can optimize this process. For example, would using pandas or another library be more efficient, or is there a better way to structure the loop for large data?
