[Enhancement] Expanding JSON recusivly

[volkerrichert]

If you have an object inside an object like

{
status: "ok",
serverTime: "2018-08-29T11:34:34.930Z",
serverTimeEpoch: 1535542474930,
apiEnabled: true,
careportalEnabled: true,
boluscalcEnabled: true,
head: "02a02c7",
settings: {
units: "mg/dL",
timeFormat: 24,
theme: "default",
alarmUrgentHigh: true,
alarmUrgentHighMins: [30, 60, 90, 120]
}
}

i'm not able to populate the hole object. settings is just a string '{ units: "mg/dL", timeFormat: 24,...'. The top elements are processed correctly.

Can you explain what info you want and how you try to get it?

[volkerrichert]

imagine a json like

{
a: {
b: 12,
c: { c1:'Hi', c2: true, ... }
},
d: [{
more objects/arrays
},{
also more objects/arrays
}
]
}

returned form a server via http. I try to import the hole json including all sub structure into ioBroker using

status.[*] | web | [URL] | (empty filter) | json | (no write) | */15 * * * *

i also test

status.* and different filters.

Hi volkerrichert!
If you want the full json converted to an object and stored in variable then put (@) into filter (it returns the full object converted from json) and set no role/type

status| web | [URL] | (@) | json | (no type) | (no write) | */15 * * * *

if you want to get only the settings the use in filter (@.settings) or settings only should work as well if on main level.

otherwise the json itself is returned as a string ....

i did it and the status is just a single string

the config looks like

What's wrong?
