JSON Input

This node used for autoparametrization of JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) files (*.json).

After selecting a file, the input node provides all supported inputs as table or tree containing names and values. Each row can be added as parameter or input slot using drag and drop.

Expected File Content

The input file can contain standard JSON notation. Nested structures can also be used, this integration scans the first 20 levels of the JSON structure. Currently supported types are shown in the following example:

{
	    "some_file_paths": {
		"path_file_1": "D:\\Projects\\mapping.txt",
		"path_mesh_file": "D:/Projects/mesh.cdb"
	    },
	    "example_float": 300.0,
	    "example_int": 5,
	    "example_vector_of_floats": [0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1],
	    "example_vector_of_ints": [1,5,9,10,20],
	    "example_vector_of_strings": ["first_entry","second_entry","third_entry"],
	    "example_string": "this_is_an_example",
	    "dictionary": {
		"another_float": 1.65,
		"another_string": "mode_select_1",
		"another_dictionary": {
			"param_1": 1.0,
			"param_2": 2,
			"vector_3": [1,2,3]
		}
	    }
	}
	
Extracted Information

For each supported parameter type, the following information is extracted:
