JSON Training for FileMaker - Intermediate: Building Nested Objects & Arrays (JSON Fundamentals #8)

⚡️FREE JSON training course and downloadable files for FileMaker developers.⚡️

In this lesson on Intermediate JSON Building, you will learn to create JSON from scratch, specifically using nested objects and arrays. We begin by referencing a sample JSON extract from Claris FileMaker's help documentation, which illustrates various element types, including numbers, text, and Boolean values.

The goal is to develop a solid understanding of JSON creation by manually constructing it without relying on custom functions or help files. We walk through the process in real-time, using the JSON set element function to build a structured JSON object that represents a bakery's products, complete with multiple records and proper formatting.

Throughout the exercise, you will grasp the importance of understanding the structure and syntax of JSON, including the use of arrays and the correct representation of different data types. By the end of the lesson, you will be able to practice creating JSON independently, reinforcing your skills and confidence in working with this data format.

Knowing how to create, parse, and manipulate JSON is essential for integrating FileMaker with APIs, Claris Connect, Artificial Intelligence, and more. In the complete course, we cover everything you need to know about JSON from the perspective of a Claris FileMaker Developer.
