What is HTML?

The web's document format, and incidentally a place an enormous amount of tabular data ends up - published tables that were never offered as a download. Pulling those out is usually easier than asking whoever published them for the numbers.

What is NDJSON?

One JSON object per line, with no wrapping array. That small change is the whole point: a program can read a record at a time instead of parsing gigabytes into memory first, which is why log pipelines, bulk importers and search indexes all speak it.
