Hello,

 

I have this service creation requirement of tags creation.

i am using aem 6.5 version.

we have data in nested json format for creating tags.

eg: 

{

     "abc":{

           "jcr:title":"Abc",

           "pqr":{

                   "jcr:title":"PQR"

           },

           "xyz":{

                   "jcr:title":"XYZ"

           }

     }

}

from this json, my requirement is to create abc as parent tag then its title property. Child element of abc as pqr and xyz and in some scenarios we might have child elements of abc node as well

 

is it possible to create such tags hierarchy in aem under /content/cq:tags

please help.

If you are doing this manually

you can convert json to excel : https://json-csv.com/

and use ACS Commons Tag Creator Feature

In your AEM

Go to Tools --> ACS AEM Commons --> Manage Controlled Processes --> Start Process --> Tag Creator

http://localhost:4502/apps/acs-commons/content/manage-controlled-processes.html

 

you can upload the excel file and Start will generate / create Tags as expected.

Yes this looks good but problem is along with tag title i have to add more  properties in specific tag like jcr:description or custom properties.

Kindly help with this as well.

com.day.cq.tagging.TagManager.createTagByTitle(String namespace,String tagPath)

This method takes complete tag path and creates the complete hierarchy of tags.
