Hi,

I am working on oData.

I need to extract customer address as a link (need to add cust_Address hyperlink in oData and when user click on hyperlink; google map will be open)

Example:

"@odata.etag":
"W/\"JzMjg3NTQwNTksNTYzNzE0NjA3Nic
=\"","OrderNumber":"XYZ-001","CustomerAddress":"Cust_Address"<How to add hyperlink?>,"Quantity":2}

I am able to get customer address in google map but needs your help to wrap into hyperlink.

 
 #DEFINE.MapURL('www.google.com/.../')
 #DEFINE.comma(',')
 #DEFINE.newLine('\n')

 str address;

  address = 'Lahartara' + #comma +
 'Varanasi' + #comma +
 'Uttar Pradesh' + #comma +
 '221002' + #comma +
 'IND';

 // Replace the newline with comma
 address = strReplace(address, #newline, #comma);

 // URL encode
 address = System.Web.HttpUtility::UrlEncode(address);

 // Add the address to the URL
 Info(strFmt("%1",#MapURL+ address));
 
  Browser browser = new Browser();
  browser.navigate(strFmt(#MapURL+ address));

 // Info(strFmt('<html><body><a href=%1>VendorURL</a></body></html>', (#MapURL+ address)));

 // new Browser().Navigate(strFmt(#MapURL+ address));

RE: How to add hyperlink in oData

JSON is a text format and plain text doesn't have hyperlinks. Usually you just put URL to your JSON and it's up to the consumer to take the URL and visualize it as a hyperlink (assuming that the consumer has GUI, of course).

You seem to be trying to insert a piece of HTML in JSON, which is technically possible, but it's again on the consumer to process the value in some way (e.g. inserting it at a certain place in a web application).
