How to send JSON data of a sensor

[Mehdi Alisoltani]

Dear Sentilo team

In the recent version of sentilo  it is possible to choose Json data type, for example, assume you have some data with the following format

{ "Flights":[

  "speed": 1000, 

   "altitude: 27500,

    "aircraft": "A320"

]

}

How to send this data to the platform?  

What kind of data type should be selected JSON/TEXT ?

Hi Mehdi,

For publishing complex JSON data you should include it inside the value field. The only restriction is that its contents must be "scaped"(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3020094/how-should-i-escape-strings-in-json).

In the catalog, if the sensor data has been defined as JSON, the catalog will show it better, check: https://sentilo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/catalog_and_maps.html -> Showing complex data
