+### JSON views
+
+The views are the good choice if you need to do some additional processing on top of the result set that is fetched from the files. One example might be parsing JSON files where we need to apply the JSON functions to extract the values from the JSON documents:
+
+```sql
+CREATE OR ALTER VIEW CovidCases
+AS 
+select
+    *
+from openrowset(
+        bulk 'latest/ecdc_cases.jsonl',
+        data_source = 'covid',
+        format = 'csv',
+        fieldterminator ='0x0b',
+        fieldquote = '0x0b'
+    ) with (doc nvarchar(max)) as rows
+    cross apply openjson (doc)
+        with (  date_rep datetime2,
+                cases int,
+                fatal int '$.deaths',
+                country varchar(100) '$.countries_and_territories')
+```
+
+The `OPENJSON` function parses each line from the JSONL file containing one JSON document per line in textual format.

 ## Use a view
 
 You can use views in your queries the same way you use views in SQL Server queries.
