What is JSONL?

JSON Lines (JSONL), also known as Newline Delimited JSON (NDJSON), is a format where each line is a valid JSON value. It is ideal for streaming large datasets, log processing, and machine learning data pipelines. Unlike standard JSON arrays, JSONL files can be processed line by line without loading the entire file into memory.
