Get Started

Extract single or multiple values from JSON documents in SSIS using JSONPath — no Script Task required.

Read JSON from a direct string, a JSON file, or an SSIS variable. Specify a JSONPath expression or property name to extract content, and save the result to any SSIS variable for use downstream. Auto-detect available fields and validate your JSONPath with the built-in test tool — all from a simple drag-and-drop task UI.
Part of ZappySys SSIS PowerPack — this component is FREE.

⚡ Key Benefits

  • JSONPath-Based Extraction — Extract one or many values from JSON using standard JSONPath expressions or simple property names
  • Flexible Input Sources — Read JSON from a direct string, a JSON file, or an SSIS variable — no hardcoding required
  • Auto Field Discovery — Automatically parse the JSON document to discover all available field names without writing any code
  • Built-In JSONPath Tester — Validate your JSONPath expressions interactively before running the full package
  • Variable Output — Save extracted values directly to SSIS variables for use in downstream tasks or data flows

🔧 Key Features

JSON Extraction

  • Extract single or multiple JSON values by JSONPath expression or property name
  • Support for complex nested JSON structures and arrays
  • Auto-detect and list all available JSON field names from the document

Input Sources

  • Direct string value — static content or expression-evaluated at runtime
  • JSON file via File Connection Manager
  • SSIS variable containing JSON content from a prior task or data flow

Output & Validation

  • Save extracted values directly to SSIS variables for downstream use
  • Built-in interactive JSONPath tester — validate expressions before deploying
  • Compatible with SQL Server 2012–2025 (32/64-bit) and Azure Data Factory

💡 Common Use Cases

Common real-world scenarios where this task replaces custom Script Task JSON parsing:

  • Parse REST API Responses: Extract specific fields from JSON API responses into SSIS variables.
    Example: Call a REST API and extract the order_id or status value from the JSON reply.
  • Read JSON Configuration Files: Load settings or parameters from JSON config files into SSIS package variables.
    Example: Read a connection string or folder path from a JSON settings file at runtime.
  • Extract Content from Database JSON Columns: Parse JSON stored in database columns and split into individual fields.
    Example: Pull the customer.name node from a JSON column and write it to a staging table.
  • Validate JSONPath During Development: Use the built-in tester to confirm extraction logic before deploying to production.
    Example: Paste a sample JSON document and test multiple JSONPath expressions interactively in the UI.

🎯 Summary

Replace Script Tasks with a drag-and-drop JSON parser that handles JSONPath-based extraction end to end.
Read JSON from any source, auto-discover field names, validate your expressions interactively, and store results in SSIS variables — all without writing a single line of code.
