Example Conversion

JSON Input:

[
  {"OrderID": 10001, "Customer": "John", "Amount": 1200},
  {"OrderID": 10002, "Customer": "Jane", "Amount": 850}
]

Qlik Output (Inline):

DataTable:
LOAD * INLINE [
OrderID	Customer	Amount
10001	John	1200
10002	Jane	850
] (delimiter is '\t');

Qlik Output (External File):

DataTable:
LOAD
    OrderID as [OrderID],
    Customer as [Customer],
    Amount as [Amount]
FROM [lib://DataFiles/DataTable.json]
(JSON);

Common Use Cases

• Data Import: Import JSON API responses into Qlik
• ETL Process: Transform JSON data for Qlik analytics
• Dashboard Development: Quickly load test data into Qlik apps
• Data Integration: Connect JSON data sources to Qlik
• Prototyping: Create sample data loads for development

Load Types

• Inline Load: Embeds data directly in the script (best for small datasets)
• External Load: References external JSON file (best for large datasets)
• Tab Delimiter: Uses tab character for clean field separation
• Field Aliases: Preserves original field names with aliases

Data Type Handling

• Strings: Properly escaped with single quotes
• Numbers: Loaded as numeric values
• Booleans: Converted to 1 (true) or 0 (false)
• Objects: Serialized as JSON strings
• Null: Converted to empty strings

Using in QlikView/Qlik Sense

1. Copy the generated script
2. Open your Qlik application
3. Go to the Data Load Editor
4. Paste the script into your load script
5. Click "Load Data" to execute

Best Practices

• Small Data: Use inline LOAD for datasets under 1000 records
• Large Data: Use external file reference for larger datasets
• Field Names: Special characters are automatically sanitized
• Testing: Always test with sample data first
• Performance: Consider using QVD files for very large datasets
