Re: [birt-dev] Birt support for JSON
Hello Yair,

The development team is on Github: https://github/com/eclipse/birt

You can open a discussion or issue there. You seem to have a good idea about what needs to be done for the JSON engine.

Please consider joining our dev team and be one of the people that make a difference.

About the RHINO engine: AFAIK, this is what we are currently using.

Cheers,

Wim

Hi,

I have been a long term user of BIRT (from 2002 to 2010), and was forced to move to other solution, as the product went side way under actuate/opentext. Happy to see it coming back, as it was one of my favorite.

One of the major limitation was JSON support.

During Opentext days as BIRT main contributor, a very buggy data source for JSON was introduced. I  I did not look at the current 4.10 version (will do in coming weeks). Does anyone know what is the state of the JSON dara source ? The XML data source was much more powerful (and reliable), and we used to convert json to xml, and generate report.

If the json data source is not usable/abandoned - possible to fix it ? If not, I wonder if possible to clone the XML data source, replace the XML parser with JSON parser. XPATH path with jsonpath, and have a reporting tool capable of connecting with modern rest services. Even if the temporary solution will be to internally convert json to xml it will be a big win.

considering built in _javascript_ with RHINO, will be a big upside.
