I have a requirement to convert the json into csv(or a SQL table) or any other flatten structure using Data Flow in Azure Data Factory. I need to take the property names at some hierarchy and values of the child properties at lower of hierrarchy from the source json and add them both as column/row values in csv or any other flatten structure.
Is there a way to flatten the following rather inconvenient type of JSON object in Azure Data Factory (V2)? Top-level keys in the data represent dynamically generated dates, which are different in each file. Hence, the schema is drifting.
Source Data Rules/Constraints :
Parent level data property names will change dynamically (e.g. ABCDataPoints,CementUse, CoalUse, ABCUseIndicators names are dynamic)
The hierarchy always remains same as in below sample json.
I need some help in defining Json path/expression to get the names ABCDataPoints,CementUse, CoalUse, ABCUseIndicators etc. I am able to figure out how to retrieve the values for the properties Value,ValueDate,ValueScore,AsReported.
