Hi,

Very quick question, how would I be able to use thisJSON data in c2 easily if possible. I have tried using Hash table and no luck (doesn't help that it's not clear how to use that plugin). Using an ajax request btw.

[
 {
  productid: 1,
  venueid: 1,
  categoryid: 4,
  product_name: "Name",
  product_desc: null,
  image_thumb_url: "URL",
  price: 10,
  tax_amount: 0,
  tax_included: true,
  in_stock: true,
  popularity: 0,
  product_modifiers: [{modifierid: 1, price: 1},{modifierid: 2, price: 1} ]},
 {
  productid: 2,
  venueid: 1,
  categoryid: 4,
  product_name: "NAME",
  product_desc: null,
  image_thumb_url: "URL",
  price: 15,
  tax_amount: 0,
  tax_included: true,
  in_stock: true,
  popularity: 0,
  product_modifiers: [{modifierid: 1, price: 1},{modifierid: 2, price: 1} ]
 }
]

p.s. I can't change the JSON structure, just want to loop through these and store in array, and for the modifiers if possible to attached another array or c2 friendly json/string.

Was hoping just to use hash table but so far i can't get anything useful from it, the example files don't help :(

Construct 2 Arrays need the JSON files to be in a special format to load them as arrays. The format is

{
     "c2array":true,
     "size":[
          2,
          13,
          1
     ],
     "data":[
          [
              ?[1],
              ?[1],
              ?[4],
              ?["Name"],
              ?["null"],
              ?["URL"],
              ?[10],
              ?[0],
              ?["true"],
              ?["true"],
              ?[0],
              ?[1],
              ?[1]
          ],
          [
              ?[2],
              ?[1],
              ?[4],
              ?["Name"],
              ?["null"],
              ?["URL"],
              ?[15],
              ?[0],
              ?["true"],
              ?["true"],
              ?[0],
              ?[1],
              ?[1]
          ],          
     ]
}

The first part must include the "c2array": true line, and then the next part is just the size of the array. You must include X, Y, and Z, even if it's just a 2D array, or else Construct 2 won't read it correctly.

The last 2 elements are the product modifier prices that you seem to have as a subset under "product_modifiers". I excluded the price modifier IDs in the example as they seemed redundant, but yeah.

That's how you'd do it if you wanted to import it into a Construct 2 Array object. Not sure how else you'd be able to accomplish it while keeping the format you have, though truthfully I don't see a need for you to hold onto it. Just make sure you have some documentation or notes on your project letting you know what each coordinate is for.
