2.0 Kudos + a Data Format Question

    First off… WOW. 2.0 is an enormous upgrade, and obviously a TON of work went into this project. I cannot believe how much faster tables load both on the front-end and in the edit screen. It’s night and day. We had a large table running on a client’s site, that in 1.x took probably 20 seconds to load. Now… oh, 200ms? 🙂 Well done, Tobias.

    Now for a quick question.. This is an odd use case, but this same table from the client site is being generated via a Salesforce API call. Basically we wrote a custom script to pull SF data, format it to the data format of a TablePress table, and then save it to the appropriate post id for the table… Something like:

    [["Name","Company","Country"],["Greg","RipFish","United States"],["Tim Horton","Tim Hortons","Canada"]...etc]

    This works perfectly, but what I worry is that in upgrading to 2.0, the format of this data has changed. I’m sadly unable to test this on a live environment for a few weeks.. Does anyone know if I’d still (probably?) be safe with the above data format?

    Hi,

    thanks for your post and the nice words! 🙂 Good to hear that you like TablePress 2.0!

    The JSON data format is unchanged, so what you show there in your example is perfectly correct (essentially a two-dimensional JSON array of strings). Your process will continue to work just fine with TablePress 2.0!

    Regards,
    Tobias
