JSON

Data Hub supports connections to JSON files.

Settings​

Define the following connection settings:

  1. File Location - Specify the location of the JSON file using one of the following methods:

    • File - Type the path of the JSON file. This location must be accessible from the application web server. For example file:///C:/SalesFolder/Sales.json.

    • HTTP/HTTPS - Specify a URL for downloading the JSON file using the HTTP protocol. For example http://jsonfiles/Sales.json.

    The referenced file or folder is reloaded each time the warehouse is processed.

  2. JSON Path - Specify which part of the JSON file will be loaded as data.

    • Use $ to represent the root object.

    • Use $.part_name to represent an object, with the specified name, within the root object. For example: $.section1 means the section1 part within the root object.

  3. User Name - If necessary, specify a user name for the file. If this setting is left blank, the application service user's credentials are automatically applied.

    note

    Only Basic HTTP Authentication is available.

  4. Password - If necessary, specify a password for the file. If this setting is left blank, the application service user's credentials are automatically applied.
