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 it as tables, charts, or custom HTML without requiring a full Qlik data-load cycle.

That made it useful for prototypes and for operational that needed API data on screen next to Qlik content without waiting for a reload.

Technical shape

A Nebula.js package that handled API configuration, authentication, transformation, aggregation, sandboxing, and renderer selection, with around permissions and secrets and deployment scripts for Qlik environments.

Current state

Deprecated. Its renderer and configuration patterns were reworked into the newer Qlik extensions, which draw cleaner component boundaries and handle secrets more carefully. This one is worth reading as the first attempt, not as the version to install.
