First of all, there might be more out-of-the-box tools out there for building dashboards that require little or no programming knowledge, but I’ve never used or looked for them. Microsoft’s Power BI is one that I’ve heard of in passing, but fuck micro$lop lol. It’s just the only example I can think of that might be more approachable. You could google something like, “open source power BI alternative” to find other options.

Here are a couple of tutorials about using Python to parse JSON:

• w3schools tutorial for using Python to parse JSON
• geeksforgeeks article explaining how to use Python to read JSON from a file

That will only cover how to interact with the JSON data, but not how to build a dashboard, ofc. Displaying the data in some fashion (e.g. a web page) is a whole other set of tasks.

If you’re new to programming in general, I recommend going through a collection of beginner tutorials on a programming language (Python is a good choice, but pretty much any will work for learning the basics). Any course like that will cover principles that apply to most languages and that would help you accomplish this task. For example, they’ll cover things like reading to and from files, parsing the content of files, and doing shit with the content.

Here are a few Python courses/tutorial collections you can check out. You don’t need to do all of them, but I wanted to give you some options so you’re more likely to find one that you vibe with:

• w3schools Python tutorial
• official Python tutorial
• Python Basics: Introduction to Python - this is one of Real Python’s “learning paths” which are structured like a full-on course
• I/O Operations and String Formatting - another course from Real Python. Goes more in depth on this particular topic and I would recommend this after learning the basics from one of the other resources I’ve mentioned.

EDIT: Btw, you are definitly not limited to using Python for this. Lot’s of other programming language will do. You just mentioned it, so I ran with that, haha.
