Hello!

I try to test flexmonster with a local JSON, but fail on upload: i get an alert "invalid JSON". Tested the file with other validators it is validated errorfree.
Could you please look into this issue? i attach the test file.
BTW. same issue happens with Webdatarocks - valid file can't be uploaded and alerted as invald.

Thank you!

Hello, Evgeniy,

Thank you for writing to us.

You are right; the provided JSON is valid. However, it has a nested JSON structure.

Flexmonster works with the following JSON formats:

An array of objects, where each object is an unordered set of name/value pairs
An array of arrays, where each sub-array contains ordered values.

Currently, nested JSON data is not supported in Flexmonster. More information about supported JSON formats can be found in our connecting to JSON guide.

Our team kindly suggests flattening the JSON data before loading it into Flexmonster.

Please let us know if further questions arise - we will be happy to help.

Kind regards,
Vera
