Not able to pass JSON to Fusion Chart Control
Hi,
Is there a way to pass data in JSON format to Fusion chart control?
We found this is a limitation with fusion chart library (v 3.10.0) that Pega 7.2.1 is supporting. We didn't find a function to accept JSON in v 3.10.0.
The function exists in latest version of Fusion Chart v3.12.2. Can we upgrade Fusion library to the latest in Pega 7.2.1?

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the reply. May I know why the control is restricted to support XML? Any specific reason? Is there a way we can get a hotfix to get a control implemented which access JSON data?
The version of FusionCharts supports JSON in 3.10.0, it looks like they didn't supply documentation on using it in that version (they do for 3.10.0).
You can confirm this by using the "Chart" control located under the "Advanced" menu within a section. Those charts load up data in a JSON format.
The control we ship for custom charts only supports XML currently.
Upgrading could have some complications and I would not recommend it. Fusion is usually pretty good about being backwards compatible but we've had to fix some issues we've seen in the past for the charts we auto-generate when we upgrade.
