The "Deserializer" for "application/json" files that are Objects (with
minimum "title" field), or Arrays of such objects, does include a check to
see if the value is a string:
```
if(typeof incomingFields[f] === "string") { fields[f] = incomingFields[f]; }
```
This is stripping out your other data.
I have a set of JSON tools that helps around this issue:
https://chronicles.wiki/TW5-JsonMangler/
The worflow would be to drag& drop the JSON file into a wiki with the
plugin installed, and use the Import tools in the JSON tiddler's toolbar to
import each object as its own tiddler.
You can even map json field names to tiddler field names, and there's some
other options.
Best,
Joshua Fontany
