Hi Shane, I have to say I am constantly blown away by your ability to explain complex things in such a simple manner! Thank you very much for all the marvelous work you do for all of us! 😊

I got to the end! Yay!

Great intro to ParseJSON for PowerApps. This is another great video I'll be sharing with my team. Thank you!

[Francheman]

Brilliant as usual, really appreciate these niche topic videos! Worth it to stick it out to the end as always

[franknielsen]

SO nerdy but yet SO educational!!! Shane, you are a rock star in the Power Apps universe

[interhumangames]

Thank you Shane for the great and humorous explanation - just what I needed since I have been avoiding JSON for years now :) Keep it up!

I've only been building in PowerApps for 2 months now? And wow am I excited. This crash course in JSON has helped monumentaly in my understanding, and now I can load dynamic content from elsewhere in my organization. From no Coding knowledge to a state of confident learning in 2 months. Thanks for the help in getting me here! ( I was one of the 7 that watched until the end, and will likely watch again)

I got to the end! And thanks for addressing the double double quotes. I needed that.

Great video Shane. I made it to the end.
I have used parse JSON in conjunction with PowerAutomate to run stored procedures to bring in data from SQL server and then display it in a gallery. Also use JSON to send data from powerapps via automate and stored procedures to add data to SQL tables.

Hi Shane,
great video and thanks for the additional tip on avoiding premium actions

[ChrisLee-ovsn]

I really love that you are going back to basics on this kind of stuff. I am able to send my co workers to your vids for reference.

[timwalter]

As always, I know so much more after watching your videos than before seeing them. I made it all the way through (mostly to see if there were any post-credit scenes for upcoming videos :) )

[wendymason]

Thanks so much Shane, you've taken away the fear of JSON from me and now I'm happy to take a dive into it 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[debbied]

Thanks! I love how to break things down in easy digestable bits, helps with my work indigestion.

[cwanja]

First and foremost, great video Shane. Really well done, broken down clearly and cleanly (unlike JSON). 

Now that you are super proficient in JSON, can you do a Power Automate video where you are manipulating and working with JSON? 😊

[furiousd]

Super useful. Thanks for explaining this stuff.

[MaximeBilodeau]

Thank you Shane, this was really helpful and I did watch until the end! Thank you for everything you are teaching!

[adhuma]

Wow, @Shane Young wonderful work. This was absolutely fantastic! 🙌🎥 The way you explained ParseJSON was so clear and easy to follow. I learned a lot and appreciate your dedication to creating such valuable content. Keep up the amazing work! Can't wait for the next one. 👏😊

[baffledbumblebee]

All my questions were answered. I was watching for the json more than the powerapps but I do need to learn more powerapps stuff, so great video!

[rihabhamila]

I had no idea what JSON is used for, now I will feel more confident trying to use it.. and I made it to the end of the Video, Thank you @Shane Young.

[oluwatobipaul]

Thank you Shane for the expository knowledge on ParseJSON. I NEEDED THIS!!
