## Description {#description}

Differs from [`JSONEachRow`](/reference/formats/JSON/JSONEachRow) only in that data rows are output as arrays, not as objects.

## Example usage {#example-usage}

### Inserting data {#inserting-data}

Using a JSON file with the following data, named as `football.json`:

```json
["2022-04-30", 2021, "Sutton United", "Bradford City", 1, 4]
["2022-04-30", 2021, "Swindon Town", "Barrow", 2, 1]
["2022-04-30", 2021, "Tranmere Rovers", "Oldham Athletic", 2, 0]

```

Insert the data:

```sql
INSERT INTO football FROM INFILE 'football.json' FORMAT JSONCompactEachRow;
```
