Connect to a JSON Data Source

The topics in this section describe the steps required to connect a report to JSON-formatted data.

This task includes the following steps:

Note

The End-User Report Designer‘s Report Wizard displays the JSON option if the application references the System.Text.Json (default) or Newtonsoft.Json library. Set the DevExpress.DataAccess.Native.Json.JsonLoaderHelper.ProcessingLibrary property to NewtonsoftJson to use the Newtonsoft.Json library.
