Is it possible to load an array ['g', 'g', 'g'] into an array instead of having to convert it all into JSON first? I'm basically fetching text messages from my server, so doing that via arrays is a lot more practical than doing it as JSON, and I don't even know what that would look like as JSON.

To load it into C2 array directly, it needs to have a specific header.
{"c2array": true, "size": [100, 1, 1],"data":..........

If this is 1-dimentional array, you can parse it using tokenat/tokencount expressions. Remove characters "[", "'", "]" from the string, then parse:

Set s to replace(s, "[", "") Set s to replace(s, "]", "") Set s to replace(s, "'", "") Repeat tokencount(s, ",")-1 Array insert tokenat(s, loopindex, ",")
