Hi guys,
 
I have a field string contain JSON format, but it is in plain format of 1 long line, something like '{/Currency/:/USD/,/DataAreaId/:/USMF/,/PONumber/:/WEB-000110/,/PurchaseOrderDeliveryDateStr/:/20/11/2023/,/PurchLineList/:[{/ItemId/:/SAMPLE-7/,/PurchPrice/:100.0,/PurchQty/:1.0]}'
 
Is there a tools or probably a display control (viewer) so when I display this field on a form, it will make more readable, with indention, linebreak, etc
 
Thanks

    No, F&O doesn't come with a control with such a visualization of JSON string.
     
    A simple workaround may be providing a button that will take the JSON string and pass it to an external JSON viewer. Here is an example.

    Hi,
    After my search, I didn't find such a built-in tool, you can use online tools on the Internet to convert json strings, or write scripts to convert json strings. For example, this online URL provides a free JSON format service: Best JSON Formatter and JSON Validator: Online JSON Formatter.
    Best regards,
    Kevin

    Note that my answer, unlike the verified Kevin's answer, allows passing JSON from F&O. That makes it much more useful, in my opinion. I just want to make sure that you didn't overlook this feature.
