Creating tables in WordPress from nested JSON data with/without JSON Authentication

As you know, wpDataTables was able to create a table linked to an existing JSON file for a while now. This method allowed you to create a table from a one-level array of same-structured objects where each object will be parsed as a row and each field inside the object as a cell. From version 5.0, you are able to create tables from a nested JSON file or URL with or without JSON Authentication.

An example of a simple JSON URL with nested data, that we will use it in this tutorial, can be found here.

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create tables with Nested JSON structure with or without authentication. Let’s watch a first live demo created from Nested JSON structure, and then go through the steps needed to create it.
