What is NLJSON?
2 comments

Also known as JSONL, or JSON Lines. Basically a file of JSON objects separated by newlines. Popular format for logs these days for obvious reasons.
NDJSON is the shorthand I've seen: https://github.com/ndjson/ndjson-spec
https://jsonlines.org/ was the first "this is trivial but let's write it down so maybe the name will stick" spec for it (from 2013ish)
Missed opportunity to just call it JSONS.
New Line delimited JSON
