Simple JSON parsing

user10110

I have a field in a table that contains values stored in a JSON string like this:

 

{"enabled":true,"timeout":220,"timeout_buffer":1} 

There are other fields in the table as well but only one of them contains JSON values.  I would like to parse out the values into appropriately named columns, ie. create new columns called 'enabled', 'timeout', and 'timeout_buffer' each containing the associated values.

 

What is the best way to achieve this in Domo (I'm new).  The data is being pulled from a mySQL connector, so I could always do it with a clunky query, but I was more interested in seeing what tools Domo provides to achieve similar things as we're currently evaluating the product.  I tried doing it in an ETL process, but it required a LOT of steps and relied on the order of the JSON keys always being the same.

I tried to experiment as it seemed interesting but couldn't quite get it there but you most likely would have to do this in a dataflow like a MySQL dataflow.

 

I was looking at things like this for reference.
