MIME/Media Type

Not yet standardised, but could be application/jsonl according to the docs.

Description

A format for storing structured JSON data and processing it one record (line) at a time. The format is useful for data-processing pipelines that output records one at a time, e.g. text-processing tools and shell pipelines.

There are three requirements to JSONL:

1. UTF-8 Encoding
2. Each Line is a Valid JSON Value
3. Line Separator is '\n'

Format type

Text (Structured)

Independent: Ian Ward (https://github.com/wardi/jsonlines)

File format identification signatures

N/A.

(Might not easily be possible with DROID style syntax). It is also recommended that some systems implementing this format use bzip2 or gzip2 to compress data. This conversely might open up some additional ways of identifying the format, e.g. via container.
