The Recursive JSON With Parent command (Command Type: 1006) extracts deeply nested child elements while preserving their parent-child hierarchy. It traverses the structure up a configurable number of levels to include ancestor context.

​
Overview

The Recursive JSON With Parent command provides functionality for:
  • Recursively traversing nested JSON structures
  • Preserving parent context at a configurable number of levels
  • Identifying child elements by a specified property key

​
Command Type

Command Type ID: 1006

​
Parameters

ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
propertystringThe property key in the JSON object used to identify child elementsYes
parentLevelnumberDetermines how many levels up the hierarchy to include in the returned structureYes

​
Usage Examples

​
Extract Children with One Parent Level

{
  "command": "recursive-json-with-parent",
  "params": {
    "property": "children",
    "parentLevel": 1
  }
}

​
Extract with Two Parent Levels

{
  "command": "recursive-json-with-parent",
  "params": {
    "property": "items",
    "parentLevel": 2
  }
}

​
Traverse Nested Categories

{
  "command": "recursive-json-with-parent",
  "params": {
    "property": "subcategories",
    "parentLevel": 1
  }
}

​
Common Use Cases

  • Tree Traversal: Flatten recursive tree structures (e.g. categories, menus, org charts)
  • Hierarchy Extraction: Pull leaf nodes out of deep nesting while retaining parent context
  • Data Normalization: Convert nested recursive JSON into flat records with ancestry
