Importing JSON

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

The below JSON data represents two author records that may have been exported previously, by jOOQ's exporting functionality:

{"fields" :[{"name":"ID","type":"INTEGER"},
            {"name":"AUTHOR_ID","type":"INTEGER"},
            {"name":"TITLE","type":"VARCHAR"}],
 "records":[[1,1,"1984"],
            [2,1,"Animal Farm"]]}

The following examples show how to map source data and target table.

// Specify fields from the target table to be matched with fields from the source JSON array by position.
// Positional matching is independent of the presence of a header information in the JSON content.
create.loadInto(BOOK)
      .loadJSON(inputstream, encoding)
      .fields(BOOK.ID, BOOK.AUTHOR_ID, BOOK.TITLE)
      .execute();

// Use "null" field placeholders to ignore source columns by position.
create.loadInto(BOOK)
      .loadJSON(inputstream, encoding)
      .fields(BOOK.ID, null, BOOK.TITLE)
      .execute();

No other, JSON-specific options are currently available.
