Description
The data is in new line delimited JSON format (https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/geojsonseq.html)
GIS software can seamlessly read the files if they are named as .ndjson indicating that they are of that format. Since there is only one field per line and no header, this is not really a CSV format.
At least mention in the docs that changing the extension helps in opening the data by GDAL supported software. There is no need to run a python script.
