+One dependency ([Installing](#installing)) and that runs: JSON in, an aggregate out, with no
+schema declared, no load step and no server — and no `Class.forName`, because the driver
+registers itself and the first `getConnection` maps the engine into this JVM.
+
+Swap `format(JSONEachRow, ?)` for `file(?, 'JSONEachRow')` or `url(?, 'JSONEachRow')` and the
+rest of the query is unchanged. That is the whole of it.
+
+[`QuickStart.java`](chdb-examples/src/main/java/org/chdb/examples/QuickStart.java) carries on
+from here: the type matrix, `ResultSetMetaData`, and streaming a result larger than the heap.
