I like you tutorials, but they are useless when you connect to a special json data source that can be reproduced and/or has a special structure needed to reproduce the results in your tutorials. Please make these tutorials based on a "DMXTutorialDatabase" in order to be reproducable.

Hello,

Please be a little more detailed - what do you mean by "special json data source" and what exactly should we change in your opinion?

It would be better know the data structure being used in the tutorials. some of your examples have multi level json code but no hint how to produce it. So it's not possible to follow the turorial at the ende. You should at least do the same tutorial also with a database as data source.

And please add tutorials to the showcases... Thanks ;-)

Hello,

The tutorials using custom json sources are for HTML5 Data Bindings, which does not necessarily require database source, more you can use with custom sources and custom json structures.

Is there a way to convert a MySQL database to JSON?

Use a software like Navicat. Or export your table to a csv file and convert it here: www.convertcsv.com/csv-to-json.htm

But you won't get a structured file in order to use it for a nested repeat easily as shown in some of the tutorials.
