Introduction

This plugin is based on the default bundled JSON Tool.

This plugin was created to solve use cases where we need to perform post processing of the JSON response of a JSON API call in before storing the data into a form or workflow variable. 

The configurations are exactly similar to the default bundled JSON Tool in Joget, just with an additional optional property to write bean shell script to format/modify the JSON response. The post processed / formatted response is also returned at the end of the execute() method for further integration use case.

The plugin source codes can be found at JogetOSS Github. Feel free to clone and customize to suit your needs.
