Overview
In this blog post, I provide a worked example demonstrating how to import and analyze data from JSON based sources. Flow allows for the consumption of JSON data into a tabular form for analysis without requiring any knowledge of structure or schema. I demonstrate how to leverage this functionality to read and flatten JSON from a web-based resource into a dataset. I then show how to apply transformations to the data by using the expression builder to calculate new data points on the fly. I show how to compute hypercubes against the flattened data and perform a simple language analysis, highlighting the ability to wrangle and analyze the data. Finally, I demonstrate how to export the transformed data to various file formats allowing us to persist the flattened set for use elsewhere.
