JSON Full Guide In Business Central

Dynamics 365 Business Central

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a simple format for storing and exchanging data, based on key-value pairs and arrays/objects.
In Business Central, JSON can be contained and handled by a specific data type called "JsonObject" and other complementary types like JsonArray, JsonToken, and JsonValue.
Creating a JSON structure involves using JsonObject.Add() for simple cases and multiple JSON objects for more complex structures.
Reading JSONs is essential, especially for APIs; it involves retrieving data using Get() and transforming tokens into JsonObject for extraction.
The JSON Buffer in Business Central offers an alternative method to read JSON data, allowing for table-like data retrieval and filtering.
Business Central provides a JSON Management codeunit with procedures to aid in reading and creating JSON structures efficiently.
JSONs are commonly used in APIs for data exchange, and learning how to call APIs from Business Central can further enhance data handling capabilities.
