TiddlyWiki *can* import JSON files, but only if the 'records' in the file
contain certain field names. Most important, each JSON record must have a
uniquely-valued "title" field. This is used to create the corresponding
tiddler. The remaining field names in the JSON record can be anything you
like. However, keep in mind that certain field names have special meanings
in the TWCore system. Specifically, "title", "text", "tags", "created",
"creator", "modified" and "modifier" should be considered not be used as
general-purpose field names.
Also note that the TWCore's JSON processing does *not* handle complex
nested JSON structures... just plain name/value pairs within a simple list
of top level objects.
Here's an example of a simple JSON file that can be imported to create
tiddlers:
[
{
"title": "TiddlerTitleGoesHere",
"text": "Tiddler content here",
"tags": "Tiddler tags here",
"foo": "This is a field named foo",
"bar": "This is a field named bar"
},
{
"title": "AnotherTitle",
"text": "Tiddler content here",
"tags": "Tiddler tags here",
"foo": "This is a field named foo",
"bar": "This is a field named bar"
}
]
