docs: Read a json file in and parse it into Pandas DataFrames.
          If no names is provided we use the first row for the names.
          Currently, it is not possible to skip the first n rows of a file.
          Headers are provided in the json file and not specified separately.
  
          Parameters
          ----------
          file_path: string
              Path to input. Any valid file path in Spark works here, eg:
              'my/path/in/local/file/system' or 'hdfs:/user/juliet/'
          Other than skipRows, all additional parameters available in
          pandas.read_csv() are usable here.
  
          Returns
          -------
              A SparklingPandas DataFrame that contains the data from the
          specified file.
