Snowflake supports semi-structured data types that can store complex data structures within a single column. TheVARIANTdata type can hold structured and semi-structured data formats such as JSON, Avro, ORC, Parquet, and XML. TheARRAYdata type is also used for semi-structured data and can store an ordered list of elements. These data types enable users to work with semi-structured data directly in Snowflake without needing to flatten the data into a relational schema first.
