Read JSON from files, REST APIs, or direct strings in SSIS with no scripting. Supports JSONPath extraction, OAuth/OData, pagination, wildcard file loops, array flattening, and high-performance parsing for very large datasets. Part of ZappySys SSIS PowerPack.
Get Started

Read JSON from files, REST APIs, OData endpoints, or direct strings in SSIS — no scripting required.

Use file mode, API mode, or direct string mode to parse and flatten JSON into relational rows. Apply JSONPath filters for nested arrays/documents, configure OAuth or basic auth, handle pagination automatically, and process very large JSON datasets with high-performance extraction.

💡 Common Use Cases

Common real-world scenarios for JSON Source in SSIS:

  • REST API to SQL Pipelines: Pull paged API data and load to SQL Server staging tables.
  • Large JSON File ETL: Process multi-million-row JSON files from storage drops.
  • OAuth-Protected API Integration: Connect to cloud APIs requiring OAuth 2.0 tokens.
  • Nested JSON Flattening: Transform complex arrays/sub-documents into tabular outputs.

🎯 Summary

Replace custom HTTP and JSON parsing scripts with a drag-and-drop source designed for API and file-driven SSIS ingestion.
Handle auth, pagination, JSONPath extraction, and large-volume flattening in one component for robust production ETL workflows.
