Scripting Example - JSON¶

This example demonstrates how to generate JSON using an action. A cell is updated with the generated JSON for use by a later action. The example leverages the JSON.Net library included with Vinyl.

Table Schema¶

Column	Data Type	Primary Key	Auto-generate	Nullable
`CustomerId`	`GUID`	Yes	Yes	No
`CompanyName`	`NVARCHAR(100)`	No	No	No
`Address`	`INTEGER`	No	No	Yes
`City`	`NVARCHAR(100)`	No	No	Yes
`Region`	`NVARCHAR(2)`	No	No	Yes
`PostalCode`	`NVARCHAR(50)`	No	No	Yes
`AddressJson`	`NVARCHAR(500)`	No	No	Yes

Note that the AddressJson column does not need to be defined on the table: it can be defined on the business object.

Script¶

#r "Newtonsoft.Json.dll"

using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;

var address = new JObject(
    new JProperty("address", Row["Address"].Value),
    new JProperty("city", Row["City"].Value),
    new JProperty("region", Row["Region"].Value),
    new JProperty("postalCode", Row["PostalCode"].Value)
);

Row["AddressJson"].Value = address.ToString();
