JSON string for each pandas dataframe row in a particular format

I pulled in a CSV and need a json string for each row.

df looks like:

index    Name    uniqueApplicationId    Description
0        ABC     da: ABC                ABC is an application
1        FER     da: FER                FER is an application
2        TAR     da: TAR                TAR is an application

I'm wanting a JSON string output for each row in the format of:

{"Name": "ABC", "uniqueApplicationId": "da: ABC", "Description": "ABC is an Application"}

Rather than requesting a json file from a customer I'm asking for a CSV. I import the CSV into a dataframe and now need the data converted to do a rest call to an api that will generate the data I need into the system. The body of the Post needs a json formatted in the format listed above. I want to ignore the index.
