Data loaders
Data loaders are specialized scripts that allow you to import your tabular data files into a database. They also enable the visual representation of this data in the data editor. The view of such files in the data editor is read-only.
Data display in data editor. For example:
Excel
JSON
To disable the Data tab with table view for JSON files, in the Advanced Settings page of settings Ctrl+Alt+S, set the Open file as table if detected by scripted loader to Table-first formats.
For more information about viewing data in data editor, refer to Data editor and viewer.
