Parse a JSON field for a value

Hello, Brian!
 
Thank you for your question. 
 
Please note that Flexmonster supports only flat JSON data.
Therefore, we kindly recommend flattening your JSON data source before passing it to Flexmonster.
 
You can find more details about supported JSON formats in our docs: https://www.flexmonster.com/doc/json-data-source/#supported-formats.
 
We hope it helps.
Feel free to contact us if any further questions arise.

Hello, Brian!
 
Thank you for your swift reply.
 
Kindly note that customizeCell() API call is used to change the appearance of data on the grid, e.g., add custom links or change the formatting. 
The customizeCell() function is called after the report is loaded and the data is retrieved from the data source. 
You can read more about customizeCell() usage in our docs: https://www.flexmonster.com/doc/customizing-grid/.
 
Therefore, we kindly suggest modifying data to flat format before passing it to Flexmonster. The idea lies in the following:
1. Receive the JSON data from the server.
2. Flatten the JSON any way you want
3. Use the data property to set a modified JSON object as a data source:

report: {
   dataSource: {
      data: flattenData
   }
}

The flattenData can be either a JSON object itself or the function flattenData(), which returns a JSON object.
