JSONQuery 2.0 is Here

This is a quick post to say that JSONQuery 2.0 is finally here with many new features, and some improvements to existing features as well.

A FileMaker custom function authored by Steve Senft-Herrera that enables you to query JSON (works with FM 18+).

Basic Things JSONQuery Does

1) Query – Allows for finding elements that match a supplied value, with a variety of options for operators.

3) Transform – Allows for customization of how the results are returned, with the option to pick-and-choose what attributes are included in the output, and how they are named.
