Dear all, Are there any functions available to generate a NTTable from a JSON object or JSON schema? I have found a function to generate JSON from a PVObject, but not the other way around.
P4P has a helper which attempts to transpose a list of objects to a set of arrays needed by NTTable. My original idea was python RDB interactions. A list of objects should be similar enough to a database cursor, although I haven't done much testing. https://github.com/mdavidsaver/p4p/blob/master/example/json_server.py I don't recall ever doing anything with JSON schemas. So I don't know what libraries are available. I don't think the builtin 'json' package handles these. Something like a schema might be a way to avoid needing to programmatically specify the column names and data types.
