JsonDataSource class

Provides access to data of a JSON file or stream to be used within a report. To learn more, visit the LINQ Reporting Engine documentation article.

Remarks

To access data of the corresponding file or stream while generating a report, pass an instance of this class as a data source to one of ReportingEngine.BuildReport overloads.

In template documents, you can work with typed values of JSON elements. For convenience, the engine replaces the set of JSON simple types with the following one:

int
bool
datetime.datetime
str

The engine automatically recognizes values of the extra types upon their JSON representations.

To override default behavior of JSON data loading, initialize and pass a JsonDataLoadOptions instance to a constructor of this class.
