Views Data Input (JSON, XML, etc)

Hello!

There is a module that exports views in several types, including XML - http://drupal.org/project/views_data_export

I hope it helps!

In general you can only use pluggable query backends in views3 and above.

There is one for xml: http://drupal.org/project/xml_views
But there is none for json.

I would be very interested in such a feature--it seems to be the missing part of the picture. You suggest this is possible in Views 3? This looks similar to this issue for the Web service client module: #1215570: Views Integration for 'Web service client' module

Well the views module provides you a sane api to provide such an integration, but this will probably not land in views itself, because it's kind of an api module.

@see above with xml_views.

I would say you can also use feeds to import nodes from the json or xml and then display them with a view

There was even a google summer of code project to use a views-query-backend to import data via feeds :)

So as far as I can tell, the current state of art is:

* Views 3 has a pluggable query back end:
* GSoC proposal for "Views Query Backends" at http://groups.drupal.org/node/57168 but no evidence there of the project having started up
* YQL Views Query (http://drupal.org/project/yql_views_query). A GSoC 2010 project which stagnated over a year ago. Drupal 7/ Views 3.
* XML Views (http://drupal.org/project/xml_views). Stagnated about a year ago. Drupal 6/Views 3
* WS Client (http://drupal.org/project/wsclient) is a nice D7 module, which wraps around external SOAP & REST services. It could act as a data provider for Views 3, but I've seen no evidence of an implementation.

Hi,

I have set up a group for discussing how we could bring this to life. Your input is appreciated.

This should do it.

Does anyone know if there's a similar module or in the works for json...?

I'm sponsoring a project for plugging in JSON Web Services into the Views backend. If anyone is interested, here's the link: http://www.freelancer.com/projects/PHP-AJAX/Drupal-JSON-Views-Module.html

I'll post an update here once the project evolves.

Oh, my friend. I comes from freelancer (or from drupal long time ago).

I did a half done work. See the image:
Json Data:

Configure Field:

View:

You could see currently it doest support filter etc. Only a very basic version......

Great, here's the link to the sandbox page if you want to upload to git: http://drupal.org/sandbox/clevername/1630546

There is a similar project which uses "web service client" and a sandbox called "web service client views". You can see the details here.

Web Service Client Views
