Overview
JSON Destination Component is SSIS Data Flow Component for generating JSON documents that supports multiple inputs via the composite records pattern.
- The generated JSON document is a JSON array. For each row of the main input a JSON element will be created. If there are additional inputs in the hierarchy of inputs they will be used for populating nested JSON arrays (see the composite records pattern).
- The generated JSON document can be written to a file or stored in a variable.
- Component metadata is initialized from a provided sample JSON element.
Quick Start
In this section we will show you how to set up a JSON Destination component.
- In the SSIS Toolbox, locate the COZYROC's JSON Destination component and drag it onto the Data Flow canvas.
- Double-click on the component on the canvas.
- Once the component editor opens, select the destination where generated JSON data will be stored: File or Variable, then provide JSON sample into JSON text editor. Also keep in mind if you did provide multiple objects array into JSON text editor, only the first object will be used to configure the component's metadata.
- When clicking on Mapping tab the component would prepare the inputs and external columns by analyzing the existing sample JSON data in the JSON text editor. Please note that the JSON Destination can have multiple inputs (see the article about composite records), which columns you can see. The data in these inputs can be processed by upstream transformation and source components (e.g. a Query Transformation can be used to retrieve the necessary data from SQL Server database).
- Click OK to close the component editor.
Congratulations! You have successfully configured the JSON Destination component.
