Web content Whether the URL supports parsing the json data type？

Hello, everyone
First of all, thank you @m417z for creating so many perfect mods for Windows.
I would like to ask how to configure the web url to get api style content.
Looking forward to your reply. Thank you！

Hi, I assume that you're referring to the Taskbar Clock Customization mod. It only allows to match web content with a simple search, JSON isn't supported. Support can be added, but it's not trivial and I'm not sure how popular is the need for it, so I'll wait for more user feedback. Of course, you can fork the mod and add support yourself if you're familiar with C++.

I am glad to receive your reply. Yes, it's theTaskbar Clock Customization mod，that supports json data returned by HTTP restful, not just in XML format.Unfortunately, I don't know C++.
sincerely look forward to your support as soon as possible.
thanks again

Note that right now, XML isn't supported either. You can just search for the beginning and the end of the content. So in simple cases, it can work with JSON as well. For example, if you have:

{
  "data": {
    "title": "This is a title"
  }
}

Then you can get the content between "title": " and ". It doesn't support all cases, for example if the title itself contains a quote, but it might be good enough.

I know what to do. Thanks
