Ah, but there is no inherent backend: this is a raw format, and you can “execute” it, on a backend if you like, to get a regular json document.

- krapp 5y agoOk. But why would I want to? If I already have a database with the necessary schema, I can just take the CSV file and populate it. What's the point of KSON in the middle?
- tibbar 5y agoOne (artificial) example is the second one that does a join on a csv file hosted one place and a json file hosted somewhere else. Essentially, a lot of data exploration comes down to “fetch data from these locations, transform the structure in various ways, and maybe run some sql on the result.” KSON is basically a declarative way to do that. Another in the long line of code-> data transformations.
