Re: Json Parser Plugin
You didn't. Just use the 1.0 version of the plugin, not the 1.1 version:
https://github.com/e2e8/rainmeter-jsonparser/releases
Basically, exit Rainmeter, download the 1.0 version zip file corresponding to your OS architecture (most likely, the x64 one), extract the dll file from it into your C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Roaming\Rainmeter\Plugins folder (for a standard Rainmeter installation), then run Rainmeter again and load your skin which should now work:

Re: Json Parser Plugin
Is it? Alright, as said I'm not using this plugin (and most probably never will, to be honest), just saw this thing, which I thought is a mistake and commented. It seems, shouldn't haveYincognito wrote: ↑July 6th, 2024, 8:07 pm Actually, it is correct, see the first page of this thread.
My bad, sorry. Editing my post, to show it is not correct.

Re: Json Parser Plugin
I suppose the author of the plugin thought it was a good idea to use the same syntax as a WebParser measure in this case, given that one would probably use the plugin along with a WebParser retrieved JSON anyway.

Re: Json Parser Plugin
Definitely my ignorance, especially that I never used this plugin and most probably never will, however I wonder what is the point with this plugin? Can't a WebParser measure do everything this plugin is meant for?Yincognito wrote: ↑July 6th, 2024, 8:39 pm I suppose the author of the plugin thought it was a good idea to use the same syntax as a WebParser measure in this case, given that one would probably use the plugin along with a WebParser retrieved JSON anyway.![]()
Just rhetorical question, don't expect answer, not even from the author...

Re: Json Parser Plugin
I think it's meant to be a simpler choice for the regular user in dealing with JSONs, compared to handling regexes in WebParser.

Re: Json Parser Plugin
Maybe. Maybe should try out the plugin? Nope, I'm not tempted at all. At least not now. But who knows?Yincognito wrote: ↑July 6th, 2024, 9:37 pm I think it's meant to be a simpler choice for the regular user in dealing with JSONs, compared to handling regexes in WebParser.
Again, just rhetorical questions.
