ION API Connection Point - JSON from BOD

Jeff Busch

Good Morning,

I need the JSON that is converted from a BOD to have one of the elements rendered as an array in the JSON.

If my BOD contains the following example, it works properly:

"categories": [
24,
25
]

If it only contains 1 element, it fails.

"categories": 24

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks

Jeff

I also noticed that the default json from BOD or the way around is not working properly. Because of that I created a python script that is doing the transformation and that works well. However from a BOD to JSON I have to tell the script which elements are repeating because the xml doesn't tell this.

As Roy mentioned in the previous comment the XML(BOD) to JSON for array elements won't work, even the online converters fail. So it's advisable to use a python script for the conversion and handle the array conversion manually.

Thanks Guys. The Python script is the route I took to solve this issue.
