InstallAware

Hi,
I am trying to read from appsettings.json for a particular key / value pair and store it in a variable. Is this possible with IA?

I realize there is Parse string, but it feels fragile. If new keys are added around the pair I am looking to find and store, then it will break.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, there isn't a built-in method for reading or importing a key from a json file.

The only option is with using 'Read from Text File' command, and then 'Parse String' to isolate a specific key.

Alternatively, you may develop your own method in a EXE or DLL ...or a plugin.

Thanks Francesco, That's exactly what I am doing right now. Read from text and parse.
But I was hoping for more robust approach to do this. Even if the appsettings keys / values placement between other keys changes in future, I was hoping there was a way to keep finding the right key / value pair.

Do you know if there's any plan to support json parsing by IA in the future since JSon for appsettings is becoming more and more common?

Thanks

I'll add your request to our to-do list...let's see what happens.

Thanks!

Thanks Francesco. Appreciate it.
