I don’t know what your problem is with json2html but this code worked for me.

from json2html import json2html

htmlJson = json2html.convert(json)

You can style the table with the argument table_attributes.

If it still doesn’t work, I give you this script, but my recommendation is the library.

def createColumn(dataMovie,tag):
    return f'<tr>'+f''.join([f'<{tag}>{value}</{tag}>' for value in dataMovie])+f'</tr>'

dataColumns = ''.join(map(lambda it:createColumn(it.values(),'td'),json))

titleColumn = createColumn(json[0].keys(),'th')

htmlJson = '<table>'+titleColumn+dataColumns+'</table>'

If you need more information about json2html here is the documentation
