Merging nested data
The HR team stores employee data across two separate JSON files: one containing basic information and another containing additional attributes. To build a complete employee profile, you need to join these tables using a common identifier.
An inner join combines rows from two tables where the join column matches - like merging two guest lists by name. The JsonReader, JsonReadOptions, and Table classes have been imported for you.
