how can i import data from a local json file?

[renojim]

By "local" do you mean it's part of the channel pkg/zip file?

[youssefsherif]

yes exactly 

[renojim]

json = ParseJson(ReadAsciiFile("pkg:/dir/file.json")

[youssefsherif]

perfect thank you, will give it a shot

[youssefsherif]

if i have a json file that contains data of multiple tiles and each tile consists of 2 labels and a poster and i have the data in the json file how can i exactly use them? 

[renojim]

When you use ParseJason you'll get an object back (or invalid if the JSON isn't valid), so you'd do something like this:

json = ParseJson(ReadAsciifile("pkg:/dir/file.json"))
' check json:
if json <> invalid then
   print json.Count();" entries"
   for i = 0 to json.Count()-1
      print i,"Title is ";json[i].title
   end for
end if

one more question if i want to assign the title to the title in json ow can i do that?

m.tile.titleText=json[3].title

You don't need to do that as you will only get row #3
