Integrate JSON Data into Your ASP.NET Core Reports

February 12, 2024
Choosing a reporting component with JSON format support offers interoperability and dynamic data handling for adaptable reports.

JSON support lets reporting tools directly use data in the human-readable JavaScript Object Notation format, unlocking flexibility, ease-of-use, and real-time insights. JSON enabled reports can directly consume diverse data, bypassing rigid schemas, thanks to the format's source-agnostic nature. This empowers developers with ease-of-use and efficiency, as JSON's readability simplifies integration and reduces code. Additionally, JSON seamlessly handles dynamic data, enabling real-time reporting for ever-changing insights.

Several ASP.NET Core reporting controls offer the ability to connect to JSON data sources including:

  • DevExpress Reports (Multi-Platform) (part of DevExpress Reporting) is a rich reporting solution that supports information from any data source, including JSON.
  • ActiveReports.NET by MESCIUS offers JSON data connectivity for .NET 8 applications, featuring a user-friendly report designer and flexible report components.
  • Telerik Reporting provides a powerful JSON data source component, allowing easy data aggregation, filtering and formatting in ASP.NET Core applications.
  • Stimulsoft Reports.Web provides intuitive design tools, supports connecting to a JSON data source, and can link data to a report via the report designer or with code.
