Configuring input and output

Input tab

Use this tab to provide JSON text which needs to be parsed. The input can be a hard-coded value or a variable that will get the value at the runtime.

Output tab

Use this tab to define the variable that needs to have the parsed value.

The first step in this process is selecting the sample document. (A document in JSON is a similar concept to schema for XML.) Use the Sample Document button to select yours. This sample JSON text can have any values (including "dummy" values) since only variables will be used to set the variable for the parsed values.

A sample document is not required if the JSON values need not be parsed into any specific variables.

The next step is setting or defining the variables to hold the parsed values of the JSON text. Use the Set Variable button to open the Parser Wizard with the JSON Keys and Data Types from the sample document.
