[Python] How to solve an OverflowError when exporting pandas dataframe to JSON

In Jupyter, I have a dataframe of 400 000 objects that I can't entirely export to a JSON file without facing the following error.

The export is working great as long as I limit the exportation to the first 141 000 objects , whatever the order of these first objects.

Should I be aware of any size limitation dealing with large JSON files ? Thank you.
