Json to livecycle

[whyisthisme]

Does anyone know if you can use Json to connect a database to a form in Livecycle?

Are you referring to connecting a Designer form to a database the uses JSON for storage or transport?

transport. I need to use it to extract data from a database to prefill some fields in my form. Thanks.

It is possible but not trivial. Designer supports XML, SOAP, HTTP name-value pairs and mapping to a database schema. It does not natively support JSON. I suspect you will have to wrap the JSON object in XML, SOAP or a HTTP name-value pair for transport, load a hidden field or the data DOM and then parse the JSON object to map to the form fields.

Sounds a bit complicated. I will find another way. Thanks for your help.
