When working with the functionality of reading data from a cvs file into a dataflow, it is required, I believe, to use a schema. It seems to me that this schema has to be designed to accommodate the end of a line in the data. What is the proper way to do this?

First of all, It seems that all schemas start like this:

JSON:
{
    "type": "array",
    "items": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "Title": {
                "type": [
                    "string",
                    "null"
                ]
            },

After this, the schema lists the individual columns. Let's say that in our case, we only have three columns, "Name", "Profession" and "Profession-2". In order to recognize that we have reached the end of the line as we read data, the \r character should be used. I assume this is how it should be done:



JSON:
"Name": {
               "type": [
                    "string",
                    "null"
                ]
            },
            "Profession": {
                "type": [
                    "string",
                    "null"
                ]
            },
            "Profession-2\r": {
                "type": [
                    "string",
                    "null"
                ]
            }



Finally, there is the "required" block.



JSON:
"required": [
           "Name",
            "Profession",
            "Profession-2\r",
        ]

What are your thoughts? Did I get this right? Is there some sort of documented explanations somewhere outlining the proper use of the /r character?
