Is it possible to load data from a json file (not just csv) using the Big Query command line tool? I am able to load a simple json file using the GUI, however, the command line is assuming a csv, and I don't see any documentation on how to specify json.
Here's the simple json file I'm using
{"col":"value"}
With schema col:STRING
As of version 2.0.12, bq does allow uploading newline-delimited JSON files. This is an example command that does the job:
bq load --source_format NEWLINE_DELIMITED_JSON datasetName.tableName data.json schema.json
As mentioned above, "bq help load" will give you all of the details.
