That action/tag does still exist. However, due to changes in v7 (notably being 64-bit) the engine was changed. JS wasn’t working at all in 7.0.1. In 7.0.3 we fixed the tag but left the action disabled on 64-bit Windows. The tag no longer interacts with the server object either, so the response of of the JS tag would need to be TML that could be executed to create the array. I believe the JS execution would be faster than the code I posted yesterday, but be somewhat more awkward to implement.
All of this will be sorted out and imporved in v8.

Does TeraScript still have a JS action or JS tag? On Apr 13, 2016 19:25, "Robert Shubert" <rshub...@tronics.com <mailto:rshub...@tronics.com> > wrote: Dave, TS 7 doesn’t have a JSON parser built-in. It’s something we can support in 8 because we have nested collections. I whipped up a simple JSON parser, which is attached. It’s just a block of TML that you can adapt. It’s not very powerful and won’t support nested objects (because TS 7 wouldn’t allow that easily) and won’t handle arrays (just not supported) It does handle quoting, as in your example, as well as \-escaped characters and numbers. Note that it does not handle the \uXXXX hex encoding either. Let me know if you have any questions. Or need help improving the code. Or find a bug. Oh, it also won’t be very fast, so large strings will take time. I left your test string (with some additions) in the file so you can see it work. It will also attempt to realize when the parsing failed and throw an error – although this is very simple right now.

The <@tokenize> tag seems to get me close but doesn’t fully work. For example, If I have this JSON data, where there is a comma in the “name” value: <@assign request$test_json value='{"name":"Johnson, John","street":"Oslo West 16","phone":"555 1234567"}'> And I then do this: <@tokenize value=<@var request$test_json> CDELIM=":" RDELIM=","> I end up with this: {"name" "Johnson John" "street" "Oslo West 16" "phone" "555 1234567"} So the comma in their name is causing trouble. Is there some kind of best-practice way of parsing JSON data with WiTango? We’re on version 7.0.7 currently.
