LDJSON
LDJSON, also known as Line Delimited JSON, is a variation of the standard JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format designed for processing large datasets and stream-based applications. Unlike traditional JSON, which typically consolidates data into a single, hierarchical structure, LDJSON encodes each data record as a separate JSON object on a new line. This approach facilitates incremental reading and writing, making it especially useful for scenarios requiring efficient data streaming, log processing, or real-time data handling.
In LDJSON, each line is a valid JSON object, and lines are delimited by newline characters. This
The format is also sometimes referred to as JSON Lines or newline-delimited JSON. Because each line is
Standard JSON parsers can process LDJSON files with minimal adjustment—by reading the file line-by-line and parsing
Overall, LDJSON provides a practical and efficient way to manage large-scale, streaming, or log data in a
