A VARIANT column in Snowflake is specifically designed to store semi-structured data, such as JSON, and allows for the creation of a data hierarchy. Unlike string columns, VARIANT columns can natively handle JSON data structures, enabling complex querying and manipulation of hierarchical data using functions designed for semi-structured data.
