Component: JSON Convert

The ShapeDiverJSONConvert converts your parsed JSON objects into common Grasshopper data types. The most basic conversion is by giving an array of 3 numbers that are then turned into points. However, you can send more complex JSON structures to create colors, boxes, nurbs surfaces, nurbs curves, transformations and more. The JSON has to be organised by providing a “type” attribute and a “data” attribute. For example, in order to create a color we will call our “type”:“color” and the “data” will contain an array of 3 numbers which represent the Red, Green and Blue values. A box needs a plane with origin, X axis and Y axis and an array with three domains defining the size for each axis.
