What is JSONL?
JSONL, also known as JSON Lines, is a convenient data format where each line is a separate, valid JSON object. Unlike a standard JSON file which contains a single large JSON object or an array of objects, JSON objects in a JSONL file are separated by newline characters (\n). This makes it easier to process large datasets and stream data, as each line can be read and parsed individually.
Why use JSONL?
The JSONL format is particularly useful in various scenarios:
OpenAI Fine-Tuning: For training and fine-tuning OpenAI models like GPT, JSONL is the preferred format for providing training data.
Log Files: The line-based format is excellent for writing and reading log entries, as new entries can simply be appended.
Streaming Large Datasets: When working with very large amounts of data that don't fit entirely into memory, JSONL allows for line-by-line reading and processing.
Inter-Process Communication: Individual JSON messages can be easily sent over pipes or other streaming mechanisms.
