DocsAutomator - looking for some API Guidance

1

Using Docs Automator for the first time, and am struggling a bit with the API.

My template is quite large, and will have something like 200+ replacements, including several sets of line items.

Ideally, I want to pass everything as a single JSON payload, but the Docs Automator API seems unable to deal with complex nested JSON, as far as I can work out.

A simplified example of the data payload I want to send is something like the following:

{
	"section1": {
		"parameter1": "some value",
		"parameter2": "another value"
	},
	"section2": {
		"parameter1": "some value",
		"parameter2": "some other value"
	}
}

And then in my template, I would want to refer to the above like:

{{section1.parameter1}}
{{section1.parameter2}}
{{section2.parameter1}}

and so on…

Does anyone know if the above is doable, or do I just have to bite the bullet and flatten everything out into a long series of key/value pairs?
