### ParseSpec
ParseSpecs serve two purposes:
- The String Parser use them to determine the format (i.e. JSON, CSV, TSV) of incoming rows.
- All Parsers use them to determine the timestamp and dimensions of incoming rows.
If `format` is not included, the parseSpec defaults to `tsv`.
#### JSON ParseSpec
Use this with the String Parser to load JSON.

| flattenSpec | JSON Object | Specifies flattening configuration for nested JSON data. See [Flattening JSON](./flatten-json.html) for more info. | no |
#### JSON Lowercase ParseSpec
This is a special variation of the JSON ParseSpec that lower cases all the column names in the incoming JSON data. This parseSpec is required if you are updating to Druid 0.7.x from Druid 0.6.x, are directly ingesting JSON with mixed case column names, do not have any ETL in place to lower case those column names, and would like to make queries that include the data you created using 0.6.x and 0.7.x.

the delimiter is a tab, so this will load TSV.

handle all formatting decisions on their own, without using the ParseSpec.
