polars.scan_ndjson#
- polars.scan_ndjson(file: str | pathlib.Path, infer_schema_length: int | None = 100, batch_size: int | None = 1024, n_rows: Optional[int] = None, low_memory: bool = False, rechunk: bool = True, row_count_name: Optional[str] = None, row_count_offset: int = 0) LazyFrame[source]#
Lazily read from a newline delimited JSON file.
This allows the query optimizer to push down predicates and projections to the scan level, thereby potentially reducing memory overhead.
- Parameters:
- file
Path to a file.
- infer_schema_length
Infer the schema length from the first
infer_schema_lengthrows.- batch_size
Number of rows to read in each batch.
- n_rows
Stop reading from JSON file after reading
n_rows.- low_memory
Reduce memory pressure at the expense of performance.
- rechunk
Reallocate to contiguous memory when all chunks/ files are parsed.
- row_count_name
If not None, this will insert a row count column with give name into the DataFrame
- row_count_offset
Offset to start the row_count column (only use if the name is set)
