[xwiki-users] Parsing external JSON with Velocity in XWiki

Hi I started off on something I thought would be simple, but my limited knowledge is failing me and Google isn’t bringing up anything useful. Basically, I have a url that returns JSON content (for the sake of this example – assume the url is https://status.com/api/status.json) The content returned by the URL is: {"page":{"id":"9jyl5nk7mszv","name":"Custodian DataCentres","url":"http://status.custdc.net","updated_at":"2016-04-19T15:45:36.626+01:00"},"status":{"indicator":"none","description":"All Systems Operational"}} What I wanted to do was to simply read that JSON and then process the values and possibly output something like: Status: All Systems Operational Last Update: 2016-04-19T15:45:36 So far I have managed to get the URL content with: {{velocity}} #set($jsoncontent = $xwiki.getURLContent(‘https://status.com/api/status.json’)) $jsoncontent {{/velocity}} This is where I get stuck. How do I get the $jsonconent into an array or somehow read the values? Apologies for the basic question, but I hope someone can either point me in the right direction or provide an example I can work from. Thanks.
