Tm Direct JSON Visualizations
A Qlik extension that connects JSON REST APIs directly to interactive tables, charts, and custom HTML visualizations without first loading the data into Qlik's associative model.
What it solved
Tm Direct JSON explored a direct path from external REST APIs into Qlik visualizations. The extension could fetch JSON, transform it, and render it as tables, charts, or custom HTML without requiring a full Qlik data-load cycle.
That made it useful for prototypes, operational dashboards, and scenarios where API data needed to be displayed alongside Qlik content quickly.
Technical shape
The extension combined API configuration, authentication options, data transformation, aggregation, sandboxing, and renderer selection inside a Nebula.js-based package. It included guardrails for permissions and secrets, plus deployment scripts for Qlik environments.
The architecture later informed cleaner renderer and configuration patterns in newer Qlik extension work.
Current state
Deprecated. It remains useful as a reference point for the newer extension work, but newer projects supersede it with cleaner component boundaries and safer configuration flows.
