this might be a good place to ask: is there any tool out there that can help with json to normalised tables? I know that many databases can store json, but i often have api's that i would like storing in tables, and feel that 'splitting it out' should be fairly trivial. Each time i think about making a tool, i am put off by the fact that there is a voice saying 'someone will have done this, in a much better way than you!' :-) EDIT: Ignore that, i did that think where i didn't look at the link - this pretty much does what i would need

If you have an MS office suite the power query editor can expand JSON to columns. Doesn't result in a table that is normalized per se, but it is quite a powerful tool overall. Not really a Microsoft fan, but what they provide here is not bad at all.

My sqlite-utils tool can load JSON into a SQLite database table: https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#inserting-json-data https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#inserti... It can also be used to run SQL queries against an in-memory database created from one or more JSON or CSV imports: https://simonwillison.net/2021/Jun/19/sqlite-utils-memory/ https://simonwillison.net/2021/Jun/19/sqlite-utils-memory/

Have you looked at Millercsv or jq?
