JSON Training for FileMaker - JSON Make Array Function (JSON Fundamentals #12)

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

In this video, we explore the JSON make array function introduced in FileMaker 2024, which simplifies the process of creating JSON arrays from related values.

We begin by revisiting an earlier version of our contact system, where we set up a new table for hobbies linked to contacts. After establishing the relationship, you will learn how to use the JSON make array function in conjunction with the list function to efficiently compile a list of hobbies into a JSON array without the need for looping through records.

You also will witness the flexibility of the separator used in the array, allowing for various characters, and you will see how to create a local field for hobbies that can contain multiple values. This function proves particularly useful for quickly inserting lists into JSON payloads, making it easier to manage combined data in fields. Overall, we emphasize the advantages of this new function for users of FileMaker 21 and above.

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.
