DuckDB: Querying JSON files as if they were tables
I think I write this under every article about DuckDB, but it's become an indispensable tool for me. I used to abuse Excel because going from Excel to a script to process some data was too much friction, but with DuckDB the friction is gone: loading CSV and Parquet (and now JSON) files is a snap, you can create and persist any tables you want, the SQL dialect has lots of useful sugar.
