Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know of a way to get the a!fromJson function to respect arrays? Ie:

a!fromJson({"Values":["Alph;a","Beta","Delta"]})

will return a dictionary. When I index 'values' from the dictionary I get a single string representation of the array I started with instead of the array itself.

The problem appears to be that dictionaries themselves don't support arrays as values - for example this expression returns 1 instead of 3:
load(
local!dict: {Values: {1, 2, 3}},
length(local!dict.Values)
)

Does anyone have a way around this shortcoming?

To be more dynamic on datatypes you could use the reduce() function and a simple rule that just increments an integer by one.

load(
local!dict: {Values: {1, 2, 3, 4, "a", 1.5}},
reduce(rule!CountItemsForReduceFunction, 0, local!dict.Values)
)

CountItemsForReduceFunction(value (integer), item (any)):
=ri!value + 1
