Convert Parquet to JSON

Apache Parquet is a columnar storage format optimized for use with big data processing frameworks. It offers efficient data compression and encoding schemes, which leads to significant storage savings and improved read performance.

Parquet is designed to support complex nested data structures and enables efficient querying and manipulation of specific columns without reading the entire dataset.

Compression

Parquet supports various compression algorithms such as Snappy, Gzip, and LZO. These compression techniques help in reducing the storage space and improving the performance of data processing tasks.

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate.

JSON has become the de facto standard for data exchange on the web, and it is widely used in APIs.

Character encoding

As stated by the RFC 8259, we expect strings in uploaded JSON files to be encoded in UTF-8.

If your file contains non UTF-8 characters, you might get an error when parsing your data.
