MichelHelmy — Mon, 28 May 2018 14:49:00 GMT

I am using a REST Web service to use an api and I can't seem to use the JSON VBO correctly. I can not form the JSON request correctly. How can I use the collection to JSON action correctly?

To save time I recommend searching this forum for answers on a topic before raising a new thread. This previous discussion includes a release attachment that shows how to use the JSON/HTTP objects to consume a webservice: https://portal.blueprism.com/forums/general-discussion/general-discussion/consuming-external-rest-web-services

Hello, I am using Blue Prism V6.2, and I used the code that you provided, and It doesn't work with me. While running the process I am receiving this error: ""Internal : Could not run the object because one of the code stages has a compile error, use Check for Errors for a list of problems"" at the ""Get"" action After debugging I found the root cause of the error and It's in the ""Global Code"" part of the JSON business object as shown at the attached image. The Errors: 1- 'JavaScriptConvert' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level. 2- Type 'JavaScriptArray' is not defined. 3- Type 'JavaScriptObject' is not defined. I couldn't solve the errors, so please help. Is there a missing .dll file? Thanks.

I can confirm this issue. I…

I can confirm this issue. I'm using BP V6.1 and there seems to be a missmatch between the ""Utility - JSON"" object and the provided Newtonsoft.Json.dll You have two options Search the web for the appropriate NewtonSoft.Json.dll (mabye it is part of an old BP Release?!) Rewrite the utility code to provide a modern JsonConverter (I had choosen this way. If you are interested in this object drop me a line) Greetings Tobias

Hello friends, sorry about the delay, but I took my holidays ;-) Attched is my version of a JSON deserializer/serializer object. It should work with the NewtonSoft.JSON.dll in the BP 6 folder. Try it and let me know about issues. Have fun ;-) toarnold

dear @toarnold, you really are a life saver, as part of a workaround for a critical issue I needed to convert a JSON but didn't have time to create a new object. Users, if you need a working solutions this one works nicely.

Hey @Tobias Arnold, would you mind sharing a link for the new object? I cannot find a link or a place to download the new version of the JSON deserializer/serializer object you attached.

Hi eyeryone,

it seems that my old object is lost due to forum mirgration.
Attached is a slightly improved version. You do not need a special version of Newtonsoft.json.dll. Take this dll from the current NuGet Package or download it form newtonsoft.com

Hi Juana,

It is simple, download the dll from https://www.newtonsoft.com/json. It is part of the zip file.
But download isn't needed, 'cause BluePrism installs a matching version in the BP Installation Folder.
