Extension::JsonJsonObjectFlatten Method

Syntax

Arguments

jsonCharacter

Json with nested fields we wish to flatten.

separatorCharacter

Separator to use between parent field and child field names

Description

Flatten subobjects into parent JSON objects - recurses arrays.

Discussion

JsonObjectFlatten recurses into arrays, and flattens nested objects using the field name in the parent, plus a separator to generate a field at the parent object level.

Example

dim json as c = <<%json%
[
   {
       "CustomerId" : "AMCE" ,
       "Contact" : {
          "Firstname" : "Sam" ,
          "Lastname" : "Clark"
       },
       "Address" : {
           "Street" : "123 Main Street" ,
           "City" : "Springfield"  , 
           "State" : "MI"
       }
   }
]
%json%

dim out as c = extension::json::JsonObjectFlatten(json,"__") 
? out
[
    {
        "CustomerId": "AMCE",
        "Contact__Firstname": "Sam",
        "Contact__Lastname": "Clark",
        "Address__Street": "123 Main Street",
        "Address__City": "Springfield",
        "Address__State": "MI"
    }
]
