Action: JSON Parse

This action enables strucutred data in JSON format to be parsed into a MacroDroid dictionary variable.

JSON data is a widely used format by many Web APIs to provide data in a structured/nested format. A typical example of such data is below:

{

   "firstName": "Rajesh",
   "lastName": "Kumar",
   "gender": "man",
   "age": 24,
   "address": {
       "streetAddress": "126 Udhna",
       "city": "Surat",
       "state": "GJ",
       "postalCode": "394221"
   },
   "phoneNumbers": [
       { "type": "home", "number": "7383627627" }
   ]

}

This data can be obtained from the following url: https://tools.learningcontainer.com/sample-json.json

This data will be parsed into a dictionary variable in MacroDroid and end up with the following format:

dictionary[firstName] = "Rajesh"
dictionary[lastName] = "Kumar"
dictionary[genger] = "man"
dictionary[age] = 24
dictionary[address] = sub-dictionary with 4 entries
dictionary[address][streetAddress] = "126 Udhna"
dictionary[address][city] = "Surat"
dictionary[address][state] = "GJ"
dictionary[address][postalCode] = "394221"
dictionary[phoneNumbers] = sub-dictionary with 2 entries
dictionary[phoneNumbers][type] = "home"
dictionary[phoneNumbers][number] = 7383627627
