Parsed JSON in multiple columns - sql

Question

I'm working on some API info collecting and I've written a program that reads the domains and looks up the API info and after it finds the info it puts the whole JSON text it made into a column in Microsoft SQL server table.
This is how one of the JSON output looks:
{

}
Picture example:
So what I need to do now is take only some of the data out like "Company name", "category" (with all sub-category info), "employees", "employeesrange", "marketcap", "annnualrevenue" and "similardomains" (this one should go as a full text column) and sort each one in its own column. I would be very happy for any help or directions I can get.

Answer 1

Using JSON_VALUE function you can extract all data from your JSON column
SELECT * ,
JSON_VALUE(JsonColumn,'$.name') AS CompanyName
, JSON_VALUE(JsonColumn,'$.category.sector') AS CategorySector
, JSON_VALUE(JsonColumn, '$.category.industryGroup') AS CategoryIndustryGroup
-- etc
FROM YourTable
