Generating The Report

import json
from datetime import datetime

from groupdocs.assembly import DataSourceInfo, DocumentAssembler

def parse_dates(item):
    # JSON has no dates: turn the order dates into datetime objects for the template
    for key in ("OrderDate", "ShippingDate"):
        if key in item:
            item[key] = datetime.strptime(item[key], "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")
    return item

with open("orders.json", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    orders = json.load(f, object_hook=parse_dates)

assembler = DocumentAssembler()
assembler.assemble_document("bubble-chart.xlsx", "bubble-chart-report.xlsx", DataSourceInfo(orders, "orders"))
