rest-call-from-json skillA

rest-call-from-json is agent-read markdown (skill) from mendixlabs/mxcli: Generate the whole integration stack from a JSON payload: JSON structure, non-persistent entities, import mapping, and the REST CALL microflow. Use when starting from an example response and needing everything between it and a working microflow..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# REST Call from JSON Payload — End-to-End Skill

Use this skill to generate the full stack of Mendix integration artifacts from a JSON payload:
JSON Structure → Non-persistent entities → Import Mapping → microflow.

> **Two approaches**: This skill uses the **inline REST CALL** approach (good for one-off calls
> and quick prototyping). For structured APIs with reusable operations, use the **REST Client**
> approach instead — see [rest-client](../rest-client/SKILL.md) for `create rest client` + `send rest request`
> + optional `transform` with JSLT data transformers.

## Overview — Four Steps

1. **CREATE JSON STRUCTURE** — store the raw payload and derive the element tree
2. **CREATE ENTITY** (non-persistent) — one per JSON object type, with attributes per JSON field
3. **CREATE IMPORT MAPPING** — link JSON structure elements to entities and attributes
4. **CREATE MICROFLOW** — inline REST CALL that invokes the import mapping (or use REST Client + SEND REST REQUEST)

---

## Step 1 — JSON Structure

```sql
create json structure Module.JSON_MyStructure
  snippet '{"key": "value", "count": 1}';
```
