JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based format for storing and exchanging structured data, using key-value pairs. It is widely used in web APIs and applications due to its readability and ease of use by both humans and machines.

Dawiso allows you to retrieve metadata not only through direct integrations with connected systems, but also from structured files like CSV and XML. This ensures you can document and manage key metadata even from sources that don’t support direct integration, making your governance coverage more complete and flexible.

Tip

This provider is only compatible with private connections that use Dawiso Integration Runtime (DIR) for data ingestion. Make sure DIR has access to the files on your network or local file system.

Prepare for ingestion

Before ingesting your data into Dawiso, ensure the following requirements are met:

  1. Dawiso Integration Runtime (DIR) is installed and running.
  2. The file must be in .json format and follow the naming convention: {packageKey}_{queryKey}.json.
  3. DIR must have access to the files on your local file system or network.
