Hello @learning_1989 Please have a look at the following document to see how to read the JSON file in Databricks:
Document: https://docs.databricks.com/en/query/formats/json.html#json-file

This allows you to read JSON files with key-value pairs in single-line or multi-line mode. In single-line mode, a file can be split into many parts and read in parallel. In multi-line mode, a file is loaded as a whole entity and cannot be split.

You should be able to read the json file with below code.

val df = spark.read.format("json").load("file.json")

After this you will need to use the explode function to add columns to the dataframe using the nested values.
