Introduction
This plugin is based on the default bundled JSON Tool.
This plugin was created to solve use cases where we need to perform post-processing of the JSON response of a JSON API call in before storing the data into a form or workflow variable.
The configurations are exactly similar to the default bundled JSON Tool in Joget, just with an additional optional property to write a BeanShell script to format/modify the JSON response. The post-processed/formatted response is also returned at the end of the execute() method for further integration use case.
This plugin works just like the default bundled JSON Tool in Joget, but with the following added abilities:-
- with GET, PATCH, PUT, and POST methods.
- Send files in POST method.
- Receive file and store into a Joget form file upload.
The plugin source codes can be found at JogetOSS Github. Feel free to clone and customize to suit your needs.

Download Sample App
Notes:
- This sample app already includes the Enhanced JSON Tool plugin. So just import it into your Joget server and start using it.
- The API Domain Whitelist / API IP Whitelist setting in General Settings needs to be configured to allow JSON API requests, in order for this sample app to work.
