Convert to JSON SQL Method
The toJSON method allows you to convert data from your SQL database into JSON format. This can be useful for exporting data or sharing it with other systems that expect JSON data.
Syntax
adapter.toJSON(dataname)
.then((result) => {
if (result.acknowledged) {
// If the operation was successful, log the message and the output files
console.log(result.message);
console.log("Output files:", result.results);
} else {
// If there was an error, log the error message
console.error(result.errorMessage);
}
})
.catch((error) => {
// If there was an unhandled exception, log the error
console.error("An error occurred:", error);
});Parameters
dataname: The name of your SQL database.
Example
Suppose you have an SQL database named your_database.db with two tables: users and orders. You want to convert the data from these tables into JSON format. Here's how you would use the toJSON method:
const dataname = 'your_database.db'; // Specify the name of your database
adapter.toJSON(dataname)
.then((result) => {
if (result.acknowledged) {
// If the operation was successful, log the message and the output files
console.log(result.message);
console.log("Output files:", result.results);
} else {
// If there was an error, log the error message
console.error(result.errorMessage);
}
})
.catch((error) => {
// If there was an unhandled exception, log the error
console.error("An error occurred:", error);
});The resulting JSON files will contain data for each table, as shown in the example you provided. Feel free to adapt this example to your specific use case! 😊
