+## JSON file reading
+
+Read one complete JSON document through the same filesystem sandbox as CSV/XLSX:
+
+\`\`\`lua
+local data = db:read_json("input.json")
+\`\`\`
+
+The root may be an object, array, string, number, boolean or null. Objects become tables with
+string keys; arrays use 1-based indices. Strings and booleans retain their native Lua types.
+Integers fitting signed 64-bit stay Lua integers; other finite numbers use Lua doubles, which
+can round large integers. Text must be UTF-8 (an initial UTF-8 BOM is accepted); there is no
+Latin-1 fallback. Standard strict JSON syntax applies: comments, trailing commas, extra roots,
+invalid Unicode and non-finite numbers are rejected. Duplicate object keys keep the last value.
+
+JSON null becomes \`nil\`. Null object fields disappear, and null array entries leave holes at
+their original indices; later entries are not shifted. Neither \`#\` nor \`ipairs\` supplies a
+reliable count for such arrays, and trailing null entries are invisible. Empty objects and
+arrays both become empty Lua tables. Returning these values uses the existing encoder: an
+empty table emits \`[]\`, and a sparse array emits an object such as \`{"2":10,"4":30}\`.
+
+The reader loads the whole document, with at most 64 MiB of input and nesting depth 32 (root
+depth 0). File, parse and limit failures carry \`Cannot read_json:\` and the requested path;
+parse failures include location information when available. The file is closed on success and
+failure. This reads values only; it does not import database rows or write the file.
