How do you load JSON data into a Snowflake table?

To load JSON into Snowflake you typically use the COPY INTO command with a JSON file format. First create a file format: CREATE FILE FORMAT my_json_format TYPE = 'JSON'; Then stage the file (internal or external). For an internal stage: PUT file://local/path/file.json @my_stage; Finally run COPY INTO: COPY INTO my_table FROM @my_stage/file.json FILE_FORMAT = (FORMAT_NAME = my_json_format); Snowflake will parse each JSON object into a VARIANT column. If you have a table with a VARIANT column, you can also use SELECT parse_json($1) to extract fields. For continuous ingestion, Snowpipe can automatically load new files as they arrive. Remember to define the target table schema and optionally use a staging table if you need to transform data before loading.
