Use JsonDataSource
The JsonDataSource component allows you to obtain data from a Web service endpoint, text file, or JSON string.
Configure the JsonDataSource object at runtime as follows:
- Use the JsonSource property to specify the JSON data location.
- Optional. Use the Schema property to specify JSON nodes to retrieve data.
- Use the Fill or FillAsync method to retrieve data.
The JsonDataSource object uses the open source Newtonsoft.Json library
. Install the Newtonsoft.Json package if your application does not reference this library.
