BCv26 Json Data New Features

Simplified JSON Data Access with Microsoft BC26 new methods

Working with JSON data just got easier! in the previous BC versions accessing JSON required using a JsonToken to read the data. But with the release of BC v26, Microsoft has introduced an updated API that streamlines this process.

The new API includes a set of methods designed to retrieve JSON data directly, eliminating the need to always rely on JsonToken. This enhancement simplifies development and makes working with JSON more efficient than ever before.

If you’re working with JSON in your applications, this update is making your code cleaner, faster, and easier to maintain. Don’t miss out on exploring the new features in BC v26!
