JSON - Short Overview

JavaScript Object Notation (short JSON) is a format for storing and transporting data. JSON is often used to send data from a server to a web page.
Syntax and Structure
A JSON object is based on a key (name) and a value, that is typically rendered in curly brackets.
Key: A key is always a string enclosed in quotation marks.
Value: A value can be a string, number, boolean expression, array or object
A pair of a key and a value is an object. An object is surrounded by curly brackets ({}). You can separate information (in an object) by ":" and "," .
":" = Separates name from value
"," = Separates name-value pairs
JSON examples
The following example is about a configuration of AnyDesk:
{
"Integration": {
    "AnyDesk": {
        "Enabled": true,
        "BootstrapperUrl" "https://.../.../AnyDesk.exe",
        "Ui":{"TrayMenuEnglish": "Start remote session"
​
            }
        }
    }
}
All-in-one
In RealmJoin Group Settings, the JSON from above looks like this:
Key = Integration
Value = {"AnyDesk: { "Enabled": true, "BootstrapperUrl": "https://../.../AnyDesk.exe", "Ui": {TrayMenuTextEnglish": "Start remote session} } }
Split the All-in-one JSON
It is also possible to enable AnyDesk with the following JSON:
Key = Integration.AnyDesk.Enabled
Value = true
You just add AnyDesk and Enabled to the key, separated by dots.
Similar to this you can add BootstrapperUrl and TrayMenuTextEnglish as well:
Key = Integration.AnyDesk.BootstrapperUrl
Value = "https://../.../AnyDesk.exe"
and
Key = Integration.AnyDesk.UI.TrayMenuTextEnglish
Value = "Start remote session"
These three single JSON settings are equal to the JSON from All in one. Combine all of them and you will get the same result from All in one
Combination
If you want neither the all in one JSON nor the three single JSON settings you can use a combination of all of them:
Key = Integration.AnyDesk
Value = {"Enabled":true, "BootstrapperUrl": "https://../.../AnyDesk.exe", "UI":{"TrayMenuTextEnglish": "Start remote session"} }
JSON Arrays
A JSON array represents a list of values. An array is rendered by square brackets ( []). An array contains multiple values. The values in an array must be separated by commas.
The following example shows the RealmJoin tray menu, specially the WebLinks section:
Key = WebLinks
Value =
[
{
"Name": "Google",
"Target": "https://www.google.com/",
"Platform": "any"
},
{
"Name": "Azure",
"Target": "https://portal.azure.com",
"Platform": "any"
}
]
As as result of these JSON you get a WebLinks list which contains two links. Google and Microsoft Azure.
