Description:
JSON is an ideal standard for passing data back and forth in FileMaker, but it’s not the easiest format to read or interact with. Large amounts of data and very structured notation can lead to simple mistakes causing a multitude of problems.
After installing the JSONEditor bundle, you should have sample data displaying in the web viewer. If not, please walk through the installation process again. Once you see sample data, we can begin the configuration process to bind bundle to the specific fields and scripts in FileMaker required for our use case.
To do so we’ll need a script to marshal some JSON data from FileMaker and pass it to the bundle for display and/or editing. We can also configure other options in the bundle to change its behavior and/or call FileMaker scripts in order to get the JSON back to FileMaker to be persisted or used for anything a script needs JSON for.
