Understanding JSON Lines Format

What is JSON Lines (NDJSON)?

JSON Lines (also called NDJSON - Newline Delimited JSON) is a format where each line is a valid JSON value. It's designed for streaming and incremental parsing, making it ideal for log files, data pipelines, and large datasets.

  {"id": 1, "name": "Alice"},

]
