== Description
-The JSON input transform reads data from JSON structures, files, or incoming
fields using a JSONPath expression to extract data and output rows. For
example, connect a REST client to a JSON input transform to read JSON into data
rows.
+The JSON input transform reads data from JSON structures, files, or incoming
fields using a JSONPath expression to extract data and output rows.
-JSONPath expressions can use either dot notation or square bracket notation.
-To read nested JSON elements, use a sequence of JSON Input transforms, where
the first JSON Input transform reads the nested element as a String field. In
the second JSON Input transform, use the `Source is from a previous transform`
option to select the String field you used in the first JSON Input transform to
read the information from the nested element.
+== TIPS
+* JSONPath expressions can use either dot notation or square bracket notation.
+* You can pass a REST request result field onwards without selecting any
fields on the Fields tab if needed.
