Upcoming webinar: How to use JSON data in SAS

[ChrisHemedinger]

Hi SAS enthusiasts!

I want to let you know about an upcoming webinar you might be interested in. It's all about how to use SAS to read JSON data sources and create JSON output within SAS programming -- techniques that I use all of the time and that are frequently discussed here on the community.

You will learn:

• What is JSON and how is it used?
• How to use the JSON libname engine to read JSON into SAS data sets.
• How to use JSON maps to control how SAS reads and interprets the raw JSON data.
• How to use PROC JSON to create JSON output in SAS.

It's coming up May 25 at 11am ET. Register here to join live, or get on the list for on-demand recordings.

Will this cover all of the details of what is possible in a MAP file?  I could not find a good description in the on-line help files.  For example the CURRENT_LENGTH setting that the AUTOMAP feature uses is not listed. 

Also I think perhaps the PATH settings in the MAP files are following some type of grammar for JSON and/or XML files so it would be nice to have a reference to a source where those are explained in detail.

Tom, I won't be able to get into all of that detail (because I'll spend more time on basics), but I'll be happy to try and chase down some of those other details.
