Common pitfalls include: 1) Not handling parsing errors (invalid JSON lines). 2) Reading the entire file into memory for large files. 3) Incorrectly assuming each line is a complete JSON object. 4) Forgetting to close the read stream. 5) Not handling character encoding issues (ensure the file is UTF-8 encoded).
