Important

This topic and its sub-topics provides the JSON format that is supported by the older versions of Azure PowerShell. If you are using the July 2015 Release version of Azure PowerShell or later, see Structure Element for the latest JSON format. You can convert the JSON from old format to new format by using the tool: JSON Upgrade Tool 

The Structure section in a JSON file that defines an Azure Data Factory table contains a collection of columns for the table. Each column contains the following properties:

    { name: "projectname", type: "String"},
