**Documentation**

Import a JSON or XML file to a JSON structure.

If ``filtetype``is set to ``auto`` the program will try to guess if it is
an XML or JSON file, based on the file extension and the content of the
first line of the file.


*URL datasource*

If input datasource is a URL resource, the node will download it to a
temporary file before importing it.

If the URL resource contains credential variables, these will be entered
as part of the URL.

See :ref:`Credentials Preferences<preferences_credentials>` for more info.
