| ✗ | ✔ | |
Description
Similar to [`JSONCompactEachRowWithProgress`](/reference/formats/JSON/JSONCompactEachRowWithProgress), but all values are converted to strings.
This is useful when you need consistent string representation of all data types.
Key features:
* Same structure as `JSONCompactEachRowWithProgress`
* All values are represented as strings (numbers, arrays, etc. are all quoted strings)
* Includes progress updates, totals, and exception handling
* Useful for clients that prefer or require string-based data
Example usage
```sql title="Query" theme={null}
SELECT *
FROM generateRandom('a Array(Int8), d Decimal32(4), c Tuple(DateTime64(3), UUID)', 1, 10, 2)
LIMIT 5
FORMAT JSONCompactStringsEachRowWithProgress
```
```response title="Response" theme={null}
