    @sarvesh pandey Welcome to Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your question here! If you are looking for method or a command to flatten and unflatten jsons in bash, npx flat works, and likewise jq. You can use Simple command to flat & unflatten JSON files, checkout an example on Stack overflow You can also check this link on JSON format in Azure Data Factory and Azure Synapse Analytics from Microsoft Documentation. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. Regards, Sina
