XML is much less used these days on the web than JSON for data transfer. I'd like to see JSON support added as a data source.

I would like this too.

I have actually asked for this earlier, and the answer was, that JSON is easily converted to XML, and therefore, you can just extend your web service or program with a XML version of your API.

Hi all,

Do you have some JSON examples you can post along with how you want them represented as tables?

XML has the big advantage of XPath to find the exact data to convert to a table, whereas
JSON can also have many levels of data but has no standardised way of converting to rows.

Thanks,

Martin

Thanks,

A test JSON Data Source provider can be downloaded below:
http://www.vmix.com/download/JSONDataSource.zip

Extract the dll and place it in the vMix\datasources folder and it should show up as a new option.

Let me know if it works as expected.

Regards,

Martin
