    """
    Create a new table from a JSON file.

    Once the JSON has been deseralized, the resulting Python object is
    passed to :meth:`.Table.from_object`.

    If the file contains a top-level dictionary you may specify what
    property contains the row list using the :code:`key` parameter.

    :code:`kwargs` will be passed through to :meth:`json.load`.

    :param path:
        Filepath or file-like object from which to read JSON data.
    :param row_names:
        See the :meth:`.Table.__init__`.
    :param key:
        The key of the top-level dictionary that contains a list of row
        arrays.
    :param newline:
        If `True` then the file will be parsed as "newline-delimited JSON".
    :param column_types:
        See :meth:`.Table.__init__`.
    :param encoding:
        According to RFC4627, JSON text shall be encoded in Unicode; the default encoding is
        UTF-8. You can override this by using any encoding supported by your Python's open() function
        if :code:`path` is a filepath. If passing in a file handle, it is assumed you have already opened it with the
        correct encoding specified.
