Reading Json Data from a Document

RE: Reading Json Data from a Document

Thanks for your response,

My web api is getting document from third party, when I try to convert using readTextFromFile() , it is unable to read due to receiving file in binary format.

Any advice to overcome above situation,

You can make an updated version of this plugin to support your use case I think forum.appian.com/.../summary

I never said it is not working for me Vijay, my question is how will you read this data if this is coming you from a file, I mean how will you read the data from the file to get this format is the first show stopper for me. After that I will use a!fromJson and get the output
if you have done copying this entire code in a Json file and did it please let me know the steps how to do it,

It is working for me to map to a CDT, please remove the square bases and try ([])
{
"A": 0,
"B": "AAA",
"C": 0,
"D": "AAA",
"E": "Pending",
"F": "",
"G": "AAA",
"H": 1461220449000,
"I": " ",
"J": "",
"K": "",
"L": "AA 99000/0078 - 0001",
"M": 30379,
"N": "",
"O": "",
"P": "",
"Q": "",
"R": "",
"S": "",
"T": "",
"U": "2926",
"V": null,
"W": null,
"X": false,
"Y": false,
"Z": false

}

[

"V": null,
"W": null,
"X": false,
"Y": false,
"Z": false

}
]

Just copy this into a document and save it as a json file for reference...
I need to read that file and show case this results in a CDT format and use that data in screens.

Thanks :)

Hi harshav there can be a possibility to deal with this requirement, but need to do some R&D on this.

You can try converting the response file it Base64 and again Base64 to Text, so the content which will be returned to you, will be your Json Data.

But as i said, this required R&D and custom Plugin to be developed which can deal with files rather than normal texts for conversion into Base64 Format.

Hope this will give you an idea to proceed further.
