I wrote a class to handle this.package com.project.sightly; import com.adobe.cq.sightly.WCMUse; import org.apache.sling.commons.json.JSONObject; import java.util.*; public class JsonHelper extends WCMUse { private String[] json; @Override public void activate() throws Exception { json = this.get("js...
