856 PointsHow would we parse the JSON *before* writing it to the database? If we want to create posts from it, for example.
I'm attempting to create posts based on a JSON feed from another API. I learned that I need to use post_meta in place of the option functions to do this, but it sounds like each result of the feed needs to be stored in a new row in the database? Help!
