I am new to JSON in general, trying to use JSON text to extract some info from my configuration file. I feel like there is an efficient way to do this. Basically, trying to create a VI to extract info based on the key & value pair I pass in. it works but looking to see if there is an efficient way. attached json as a txt file.

Here's a different implementation that uses "find item.vi" to avoid one loop layer and does not create array elements that will not be needed. For this to be somewhat robust you should try to raise an error (or otherwise handle) if multiple items or 0 items match the search criteria

Change the cluster array to a Map and it'll be cleaner. You also don't need the shift register and build array, just concatenate the array on the output (not needed with a map).

Something like this:

Be carefull here, in the author implementation, all key / value pairs are concatenated. There are duplicates for each "signal_generators". In yours, all key value pairs are inserted into 1 map, discarding previously already inserted key values.

@LVEnt it would be easier to help you if we have a JSON example / schema to work with.

Yes, that's something that needs to be considered. You can e.g. concatenate key-value to get more unique key names. I don't quite know what OP was after.
