JSON converters
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is the text format most web APIs, apps and configuration files use for data. Values can be nested: a record can hold another record or a list, which a flat table cannot.

What to know about JSON
- Objects hold named values, lists hold values in order; both can be nested to any depth.
- Values are text, numbers, true/false or null, so a postcode written as "0150" stays text.
- JSON Lines (.jsonl, .ndjson) puts one JSON object on each line, common in logs and data exports.
- Text is always Unicode, normally UTF-8.
File extensions: .json, .jsonl, .ndjson
