As of this version the BETA testing phase of the JSON Adapter is finished and the JSON Adapter can now be used with live data. Since the structure of JSON files requires some understanding, five detailed examples are provided to explain the special features of JSON processing with FlowHeater. In addition, a tutorial video is available that goes through these examples and demonstrates how easy it makes the conversion of JSON files. The examples only deal with converting JSON and CSV files, but this is simply for purposes of illustration. The same principles these demonstrate can of course be applied to JSON import and export to and from other FlowHeater Adapters, such as SQL databases or REST web service calls using the REST API Adapter.

Transform Date/Time valuesAs of this version you can now convert dates and time into different time zones and formats. The DateTime Convert Heater supports all available time zones. By default, your system’s time zone and UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) is assumed. Alternative settings in the DateTime Convert Heater also allow you to convert dates and times to Unix (also Linux) time. Unix time is expressed in the number of seconds that elapsed from Jan 1, 1970 until the date and time in question. With the DateTime Convert Heater you can easily convert back and forth between these different formats.
