Function polars_io::ndjson_core::ndjson::arrow_ndjson::read::infer

pub fn infer<R>(
    reader: &mut R,
    number_of_rows: Option<usize>
) -> Result<DataType, Error>where
    R: BufRead,

Available on crate features json and io_json only.

Infers the DataType from an NDJSON file, optionally only using number_of_rows rows.

Implementation

This implementation reads the file line by line and infers the type of each line. It performs both O(N) IO and CPU-bounded operations where N is the number of rows.
