Understanding NDJSON in Zendesk Exports

Learn about NDJSON format in Zendesk exports and how to convert it to valid JSON. Tips for handling NDJSON files.

What is NDJSON and how does it relate to Zendesk exports?

NDJSON, or Newline Delimited JSON, is a format that might be used in your Zendesk exports. If your JSON export isn't valid, it could be due to this format.

In NDJSON, each line is a separate JSON object, which means the entire file isn't a single valid JSON object. To resolve this, you can edit the JSON output and put it into an array. This involves wrapping the JSON objects in square brackets and separating them with commas. For more information on handling NDJSON and exporting data, refer to the article on exporting data to a JSON, CSV, or XML file.
