Extending pathField X-Type to populate tree from custom json

[pryadav84]

Is there a way to populate custom tree structure in pathfield x-type, instead of repository tree.

Here you can find a implementation :

Hi, Could you please be more specific for what you want. Share your use case if you can. Pathfield is for rendering tree structure, what do you mean by custom tree structures? Thanks

If you are interested in displaying data in a tree like structure - take a look at this article:

https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/creating-custom-cq-tree.html

Its an example of populating an xtype using data returned by a Sling Servlet. 

You can code the Sling Servlet too to create JSON data so the widget displays data to address your business requirements.
