Support for jsonlines/ndjson?

[botkero]

Hi,

I'm new to Enso and thought this tool would be great to analyze some logs from our system (to be more specific, gitlab instance).

The logs we get are mostly formatted in jsonlines/ndjson. The documentation doesn't really tell which format is supported and via search I couldn't find anything related.

So I just tried it out and it didn't work out. Without any changes to the file itself, Enso only find one JSON Object. So not really useful.
But when I convert jsonlines to a normal json it works.

It would be a bit tiring to always edit the files beforehand. So is there support for the format or possibly a nice workaround?

Hi @botkero,

No, we don't automatically recognise jsonlines or ndjson.
Probably the easiest way to read the file is to specify to read it as Plain_Text. Then, you can access the lines and parse the JSON using the map and .parse_json.

Something like:

Attached a sample to get you started:
Read JSON Lines.zip

If it is a large log file, there is a File_By_Line reader which was made to let you read section by section.

works great! Thank you!
