JSON file database URI:

jsonfile:filespec

i.e.

jsonfile:file:/tmp/data.json

DESCRIPTION

The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) file format is a common data interchange format based on a small subset of the JavaScript language. The database driver allows writing objects to a JSON formatted file and supports reading objects as long as they are following the same encoding standards. The jsonfile driver does not support reading arbitrary JSON data.

The driver writes and reads objects with

each line containing exactly one object
each object consisting merely of tuples (name,values), where name is a JSON property and values is an array of strings

The database URI is composed of the driver name ldiffile followed by a ":" character, followed by a file retriever specifier linking the database with a file.
