We had a discussion about JSON and I provided an example workflow:

The point is that in order to import a JSON file you have to Import it with the JSON reader define a JSON path to the variables ungroup the variables Then you have a normal table with columns.

> I attach a workflow that extracts your values. I converted the XML file to JSON and then used the JSON path editor to define a path. The tricky thing is to find the path. That took some time. I exported the JSON file and used an editor (Atom on MacOS) to find the right row. Then you would have to click on an item you want and hopefully it would select and mark blue the values you want.

Basically you have to define an [XPath](https://nodepit.com/node/org.knime.xml.node.xpath2.XPathNodeFactory) that matches the data you want to extract, and sometimes you then have to do further manipulations like [Ungroup](https://nodepit.com/node/org.knime.base.node.preproc.ungroup.UngroupNodeFactory).

If you could upload and example we might have a look.
