Pre-Purchase Question on JSON

    We’re evaluating a few plugins to try and get some interactive tables set up and we know that one of the platforms that we’ll be integrating with has a JSON endpoint. Whenever I try to create a table using the endpoint URL, though, I get an error.

    Here’s an example of the JSON notation from the endpoint: https://opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/eb456643486948ee8bfb887ad76abc04_3.geojson

    This returns a JSON object with a child object called “features” that includes each ID and its properties. It’s all tabular data in the “features” array but, for some reason, I can’t get wpDataTables to see that array. I just continually get an error that it’s not in the right format.

    Is this something that can be customized? If we purchase wpDataTables, is there any support to get something like this working? I’m also trying to find JSON endpoints that work but haven’t found anything that wpDataTables likes. ??

    Any help would be appreciated. I don’t mind spending money on this but I’d like some reasonable assurance that we’re not going to spend money for it not to work for our situation.

    Thanks!

    Hi there, thank you for your inquiry, and sorry for the delayed reply,

    wpDataTables understands only serialized 2D arrays as JSON inputs for the moment, and the file you provided doesn’t have a “plain” format.

    Yet, it is not complicated to prepare a custom solution, a PHP converter script that would fetch the JSON and prepare a format that could be used to create a wpDataTable.

    Please feel free to contact us at https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com through pre-purchase questions to get a more timely response on such questions.

    Thanks!
