EzJSON

The AD-DA.ca EzJSON plugin brings JSON processing capabilities to Q-SYS, enabling seamless encoding and decoding of JSON data structures.

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), recognized as a standard for data interchange in modern applications, allows structured data exchange with web services, APIs, and third-party systems in a lightweight and human-readable format.

The plugin supports dual-mode operation. In Encode mode, key/value controls are transformed into a JSON string output. In Decode mode, an input JSON string is parsed and mapped back to key/value controls with automatic type detection.

Key features

• Dual operation mode - switch between Encode and Decode

• Dynamic data pairs - configure from 1 to 64 key/value rows per instance

• Multi-type support - string, number, boolean, null, object, array

• Pretty JSON output - optional formatted JSON with indentation

• Decode key selection - select parsed keys using per-row Select controls

• Per-row hold behavior - retain decoded values with Hold toggles

• Status diagnostics - detailed status and fault messaging

• Debug print levels - console verbosity control via Debug Print property

Use cases

• Build JSON payloads for external REST APIs from Q-SYS controls

• Parse incoming JSON-like text payloads into deterministic control rows

• Bridge Q-SYS logic with cloud services and control orchestrators

• Create layered/nested JSON using daisy-chained EzJSON instances
