JSON Read Transfer Object

With the JSON transfer object as a simple data exchange format, you can evaluate, change or create formatted texts or data in JSON. Create a JSON transfer object within the connection as described. A plug-in configuration is not necessary. You can configure the transfer object directly within the connection as described. The JSON expression is “JMESPath”.

JSON Read Transfer Object

After double-clicking on the transfer object, set the following properties:

JSON documentIn this area you can define the JSON to read. The button “Edit” is for editing the raw/source data of the JSON. The button “suggestions” searches the connection for already executed sessions and JSON files. If a JSON document was found, you can take it as template.
Data fieldsYou can add data fields to read data of the JSON elements through the runtime. Click a value of the JSON document and use the “right arrow” or the “F+” button to add a field from the JSON.
JSON placeholdersJSON placeholders are made to add variables inside the JSON document. Inside of the JMES path expression, the variables are written in curly brackets. For example: {MyPlaceholder}

A tree structure is defined in the editor of the JSON tree as follows:

{ 
"key":"value",
"some":[
{"name":"one","value":1},
{"name":"two","value":2},
{"name":"three","value":3}
]
}
