It was part of a larger idea I was exploring around ensuring Datasette could be used to start interacting with CSV/JSON data out-of-the-box, without needing to first convert that data into SQLite using separate tools.

This would be great. My organization deals with very nested JSON open data and I have been wanting to find a way to hook into datasette so that the analysts do not have to first convert to sqlite first.

This can kind of be done with datasette-lite.

From this random nested JSON API: https://api.nobelprize.org/v1/prize.json

You can use the API of https://flatterer.herokuapp.com to return a multi table sqlite database:

https://lite.datasette.io/?url=https://flatterer.herokuapp.com/api/convert?output_format=sqlite%26file_url=https://api.nobelprize.org/v1/prize.json

This is great and fun, but it would be great if there was some plugin mechanism that you could feed a local datasette a nested JSON file directly, possibly hooking into other flattening tools for this.
