## JSON Formats
The following JSON file formats are supported for conversion to SQLite:
### Single Table Format Array
This results in a single table with the name of the JSON file or as configured in settings.
```json
[
{
"id": 1,
"first_name": "Loella",
"last_name": "Albers",
},
{
"id": 2,
"first_name": "Laurie",
"last_name": "Strongman"
}
]
```
### Named Table Format
This results in a single table with the name "locations".
```json
{
"locations": [
{
"id": 0,
"name": "Acme Fresh Start Housing",
"city": "Chicago",
"state": "IL",
},
{
"id": 1,
"name": "A113 Transitional Housing",
"city": "Santa Monica",
"state": "CA"
}
]
}
```
### Multiple Named Table Format
This results in two tables with the names "table1" and "table2".
```json
[
{
"table1": [
{
"id": 0,
"name": "Acme Fresh Start Housing",
"city": "Chicago",
"state": "IL",
},
{
"id": 1,
"name": "A113 Transitional Housing",
"city": "Santa Monica",
"state": "CA",
}
]
},
{
"table2": [
{
"id": 0,
"name": "Acme Fresh Start Housing",
"city": "Chicago",
"state": "IL",
