Convert TXT to NDJSON

TXT (Text) files are simple. They just contain plain text without any formatting.

TXT files have some handy features:

• They work on all operating systems and devices
• They are small and easy to create, change, and read
• There is no formatting, just text
• Any text editor can open and edit them

People often use TXT files for:

• Quick notes and memos
• Making readme files for software projects
• Storing settings information
• Sharing raw data between different systems

TXT files do not have fancy formatting options. But their simplicity makes them perfect when you just need plain text and want to keep file size small.

NDJSON (Newline Delimited JSON) is a format where each line is a valid JSON object, making it easier to process large datasets sequentially.

Technical Details

Each line in an NDJSON file is a complete, self-contained JSON object ended by a newline character. This allows for streaming processing without loading the entire file into memory.

Advantages

• Streaming-friendly for large datasets
• Easy to append new records
• Each record can be processed independently
• Simpler to parse than JSON arrays for large datasets

Limitations

• No support for cross-record references
• Less widely supported than standard JSON
• Each line must be a complete JSON object
• Not suitable for deeply nested relationships
