How to read a gzip compressed json lines file into PySpark dataframe?

I have a JSON-lines file that I wish to read into a PySpark data frame. the file is gzipped compressed.

The filename looks like this: file.jl.gz

I know how to read this file into a pandas data frame:

df= pd.read_json('file.jl.gz', lines=True, compression='gzip)

I’m new to pyspark, and I’d like to learn the pyspark equivalent of this. Is there a way to read this file into pyspark dataframes?

EDIT 2

%pyspark
df=spark.read.option('multiline','true').json("s3n:AccessKey:secretkey@bucketname/ds_dump_00000.jl.gz")

I executed the above command & got this error.

Answer

#This command just considered all the 90 Million rows to one row

df = spark.read.option('multiline', 'true').json('file.jl.gz')


#This command below worked fine for me:

df = spark.read.json('file.jl.gz')
