Importing a 2d JSON Array doesn't seams to work

[Antoine Beaubien]

I'm trying to import a 2 dimentions JSON Array,

[
  ["A", "B"],
  ["A1", "B1"]
]

But it seams that I can't select any Array as a record path. Couldn't a record be an Array, and not just an Object?

Regards,

Yes it could, (in real life), (even in JSON), but not in OpenRefine currently.

Talk to Antonin about this more in the openrefine-dev mailing list and his thoughts and mine on records in OpenRefine.

JSON is built on two structures:

• A collection of name/value pairs. In various languages, this is realized as an object, record, struct, dictionary, hash table, keyed list, or associative array.
• An ordered list of values. In most languages, this is realized as an array, vector, list, or sequence.

There is probably an issue burried somewhere in the 620 currently opened since 2012… ;-)

Thanks for the input. I'll restreint myself on our couragous Outrearchy applicant… ;-) Anyway, this can easilly be solved by the clevous and ingienious work of jq, applyed before import.
