This links the Excel spreadsheet to the JSON table selected: After you retrieve data, any changes you make to the data are highlighted in red. To insert data into JSON, you will first need to retrieve data from the JSON table you want to add to. The data includes entries for people, the cars they own, and various maintenance services performed on those cars. You will also find the sample data used in the following examples. See the Modeling JSON Data chapter for more information on configuring the relational representation. The tables contain a primary key and a foreign key that links to the parent document.

Relational: Return individual, related tables from hierarchical data.

FlattenedDocuments: Implicitly join nested documents and their parents into a single table.

The data provider returns nested elements as aggregates of data.

Document (default): Model a top-level, document view of your JSON data.

The DataModel property is the controlling property over how your data is represented into tables and toggles the following basic configurations. See the Getting Started chapter in the data provider documentation for authentication guides.Īfter setting the URI and providing any authentication values, set DataModel to more closely match the data representation to the structure of your data. The major authentication schemes are supported, including HTTP Basic, Digest, NTLM, OAuth, and FTP. See the Getting Started chapter in the data provider documentation to authenticate to your data source: The data provider models JSON APIs as bidirectional database tables and JSON files as read-only views (local files, files stored on popular cloud services, and FTP servers). If you have not already done so, create a new JSON connection by clicking From JSON on the ribbon. In this example, you will use the people table however, the same process will work for any table thatĬan be retrieved by the CData Excel Add-In. This technique is useful if you want to work on JSON services in Excel and update changes, or if you have a whole spreadsheet you want to import into JSON.

This article explains how to transfer data from Excel to JSON. The CData Excel Add-In for JSON enables you to edit and save JSON services directly from Excel.
