To add,

Starting in DBR 8.2, Autoloader supports JSON

Starting in DBR 8.3, Autoloader supports CSV

It also now supports Schema Inference, Schema Evolution and Schema Hints.

The biggest advantage is the ease with which you can star ingesting data from your Cloud Storage directly into a Delta Table. You can choose Directory Listing mode or File Notification mode, depending on what fits your use case best.
