Convert multiple Excel files into JSON files and import them into construct3.
  • I have imported JSON files into C3 before, but I'm having an issue with my latest JSON file.

    After the import, I double click on the file and I just see a bunch of text:

    {"c2array": true, "size": [334, 6, 1], "data": [[["6/6/2023"], ["muck"], ["tithe"], ["rout"], ["I've recently been reading a really interesting book... 
    

    Normally when this happens I can find a little red underline that tells me why (and where) the import failed, but there doesn't seem to be one. I copied all of the text and pasted it into a JSON validator. It tells me the file is valid!

    The only potential clue I have is that the text between quotes is maroon until about halfway through. After that all the text is black. Is this an indication of a potential issue? I've looked at the spot with the color change and everything looks fine.

    There are no visible errors in C3 and JSON Lint says the file is valid. How do I find the problem? Not sure where to look.

    UPDATE: I had chatGPT re-write my export code and after a few iterations it seems to be working now!

    The non-working version had the brackets and values on the same line. The working version has everything on different lines. Both are valid JSON formats, but perhaps C3 needs the new lines?
