Create Object from JSON

Activity converts either a String variable (eg. output from Read Text File), or data from an existing text file into either a Wizlink Data, or custom type variable, depending on chosen output parameter.

Wizlink Data Output requires a variable of type Wizlink Data. Custom Type Output requires a custom object variable that matches the structure of the JSON content.

Only one type of output can be selected.

Wizlink Data Output requires a variable of type Wizlink Data. This is the universal solution, the internal structure of resulting object will be an exact representation of the imported JSON data.

Custom Type Output requires a custom variable that exactly matches the structure of the JSON data you want to import. In the example above the simple JSON structure can be read into a Dictionary of Dictionaries (Dictionary<String,Dictionary<String,String>>)

In both cases, lastName of the employee can be accessed by [name of variable]("employees")("lastName")
