+      "@dfn{Streaming JSON} (ndjson) has one JSON record per-line and many
+modern ndjson files contain large numbers of records.  These constructs may not
+be columnar in nature, but it is often useful to read in these files and
+\"flatten\" the structure out to enable working with the data in an R
+@code{data.frame}-like context.  Functions are provided that make it possible
+to read in plain ndjson files or compressed (@code{gz}) ndjson files and either
+validate the format of the records or create \"flat\" @code{data.table}
+structures from them.")
