How does it work for deep JSON? Does it import it as JSON and keep the depth inside each row? Or is there an option to flatten the data, or spread across related tables?

Hey, I'm one of the engineers behind Dropbase. Currently all imported data needs to be structured, which means that the data needs to be formatted in either values, records, index, or column orientations (see https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/p...). Right now we can only auto-detect between those formats, but in the future we're looking to accept unstructured data as well.
