Given the following dataset:


ProductID    ProductName    Categories

P1    Laptop    ["Electronics", "Computers"]

P2    Phone    ["Electronics", "Mobile"]


If we configure the Explode Node to explode the Categories column, the output would look like this:


ProductID    ProductName    Categories

P1    Laptop    Electronics

P1    Laptop    Computers

P2    Phone    Electronics

P2    Phone    Mobile
