JSON ?

I don't know if this should be here or in the plugins section but...

I recall a while back someone discussing the possibility of dealing with JSON files whether or not it was a plugin, I don't remember.

I need to be able to sift out information from a JSON file and I don't really want to do a lot of StrParses and SearchStrs and SubStrs.

Anyone have any suggestions or thoughts?

Javascript can extract values for specific keys quite easily ... so you can do it by Call'ing a Function built with Javascript ... or invoke some Javascript in an HTML page within a (hidden) WebBrowser Tool

However, it is very complicated to build a generic function, because JSON objects can be nested (and include arrays) e.g. arrays of JSON objects, where some of the JSON objects can have key values that are arrays themselves !

Are you able to provide a JSON object (stringify'ed string) ... and the specific keys for which the values are to be extracted/returned ?

hi, @pauljonestindall

See this link The Json plugin is available.
