+Reading Line Delimited JSON
+===========================
+
+Arrow has builtin support for line-delimited JSON.
+Each line represents a row of data as a JSON object.
+
+Given some data in a file where each line is a JSON object
+containing a row of data:
+
+.. testcode::
+
+    import tempfile
+
+    with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False, mode="w+") as f:
+        f.write('{"a": 1, "b": 2.0, "c": 1}\n')
+        f.write('{"a": 3, "b": 3.0, "c": 2}\n')
+        f.write('{"a": 5, "b": 4.0, "c": 3}\n')
+        f.write('{"a": 7, "b": 5.0, "c": 4}\n')
+
+The content of the file can be read back to a :class:`pyarrow.Table` using
+:func:`pyarrow.json.read_json`
+
+.. testcode::
+
+    import pyarrow.json as pj
+
+    table = pj.read_json(f.name)
+
+.. testcode::
+
+    print(table.to_pydict())
+

Review comment:
       They were separated on purpose, mostly because the first code block is the real recipe, while the second is just to show the result.
