What is an NDJSON file?
An NDJSON file is a text file that stores structured data in the Newline Delimited JSON (NDJSON) format. It contains a series of JSON values, typically objects, with each value written on a separate line. NDJSON is closely related to the .JSONL file type, which uses the same basic one-JSON-value-per-line structure.
More Information
NDJSON is designed for applications that need to process JSON data one record at a time, making NDJSON useful for streaming data and handling large collections of records. Developers commonly use NDJSON with UNIX-style text processing tools and shell pipelines, as well as for log files and passing data between applications or processes.
How to open an NDJSON file
You can open NDJSON files with any text editor since they are plain text files. Some options include:
- Microsoft Notepad (Windows)
- Apple TextEdit (Mac)
- Vim (Linux)
- Microsoft Visual Studio Code (multiplatform)
You can also open an NDJSON file in the Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox web browsers by dragging and dropping the file into your browser window.
