Viewing and put in an infotable JSON file?

Hi,

I followed this document CS 179012 (https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS179012&lang=en&source=snippet)

for converting a json in an Infotable but it doesn't work.

First of all i created a Json like that;

name file "sample_json

{

"ID" : "Nicolas",

"SortAs"     : "22",

"GlossTerm" : true,

"Acronym"    : "Male",

}

and i move it in ThingworxStorage folder.

Using service LoadJson i do not see anything .

I tried anyway to create a new service like that

var params = {

                path: "/ThingworxStorage/jsample_json.json" /* STRING */

};

var jsondata = me.LoadJSON(params);

var params = {

                infoTableName : "InfoTable",

                dataShapeName : "DS_test_jason"

};

// CreateInfoTableFromDataShape(infoTableName:STRING("InfoTable"), dataShapeName:STRING):iNFOTABLE(DS_test_jason)

var result = Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].CreateInfoTableFromDataShape(params);

/reading json file and put it in infotable

for (var elem in jsondata) {

//for(var i=0;i<jsondata.array.length;i++){

     InfoTable.AddRow({ID:elem.ID});

//   var newEntry = new Object();

//   newEntry.ID = elem.ID;

//   result.AddRow(newEntry); 

     result = InfoTable;

   

}

//}

The result is an infotable with its fields but without values for any fields.

This extension https://marketplace.thingworx.com/Items/Parsley_Extension results alreay installed.

I fina also this note: https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS232916&lang=en&source=snippet​ , they give me another different example of Json Object :

{"rows":[
{"name":"meghan","count":42},
{"name":"aanjan","count":13},
{"name":"polina","count":24},
{"name":"saeed","count":75}],
"dataShape":{"fieldDefinitions":{
"name":{"name":"name","aspects":{"isPrimaryKey":true},"description":"Entity type name","baseType":"STRING","ordinal":1},

"count":{"name":"count","aspects":{},"description":"Total Count","baseType":"INTEGER","ordinal":2}}}}

and also they are talkng about using

var result = Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].FromJSON(params);

It is not clear the real procedure in order to achieve my goal.

Can you help me ?

Please

I thought it was the same procedure like reading a text file but with different function.
