# Which issue does this PR close? Closes https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/7230 # Rationale for this change JSON data is notoriously non-homogenous, but the JSON parser today is super strict -- it requires a concrete schema and parsing fails if any field of any row encounters a type conflict. In such cases, it can be preferable for incompatible fields to parse as NULL instead of producing a hard error. # What changes are included in this PR? Adds a new method `arrow_json::reader::ReaderBuilder::with_ignore_type_conflicts`, which can override the default behavior of throwing on type conflict, to return NULL values instead. Plumb that flag through to all nine decoders so they honor it: Null, Boolean, Primitive, Decimal, Timestamp, String, List, Map, Struct. Add both positive and negative unit tests for each decoder type, to ensure the plumbing worked. # Are there any user-facing changes? New API method, see above. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
