Unable to parse JSON using Guide Template Language

Question

I have a Json Input string , while parsing the Json the Description field value is breaking into another line, why this line is breaking

%%[
    var @Json
    set @Json = '{
        "ArticleCount": 22,
        "Description": "<Content><fig id=\"ehx401-F1\" orientation=\"portrait\" position=\"float\"><label>Figure 1</label><caption><p>Causes of hospital readmission by timing of occurrence. Distribution of causes of hospital readmission according to the timing of their occurrence since discharge after the procedure. (From Franzone A, Pilgrim T, Arnold N, Heg D, Langhammer B, Piccolo R, Roost E, Praz F, Räber L, Valgimigli M, Wenaweser P, Jüni P, Carrel T, Windecker S, Stortecky S. Rates and predictors of hospital readmission after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. See pages: 2211–2217).</p></caption><graphic orientation=\"portrait\" position=\"float\" href=\"ehx401f1.tif\" /></fig></Content>"
    }'
]%%

{{.datasource JSONVar type=variable maxrows=20}}
    {{.data}}
        {"target" :"@json" }
    {{/data}}
    ArticleCount:{{ArticleCount}}<br/>
    Description:{{Description}}<br/>
{{/datasource}}

Output is displaying like:

Causes of hospital readmission by timing of occurrence. Distribution of causes of hospital readmission according to the timing of their occurrence since discharge after the procedure. (From Franzone A, Pilgrim T, Arnold N, Heg D, Langhammer B, Piccolo R, Roost E, Praz F, Räber L, Valgimigli M, Wenaweser P, Jüni P, Carrel T, Windecker S, Stortecky S. Rates and predictors of hospital readmission after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. See pages: 2211–2217).

ArticleCount:22
Description:Figure 1

Actually the Description Value should have to come after Figure1, but it is displaying at the top,How to Rectify this mistake?

Answer 1

When I use your code, I see that the order appears correctly.

I suspect the issue that you are experiencing is related to your XML, as you are using unsupported HTML elements:

• Content
• fig
• graphic
• caption

*caption is a supported HTML element, but only in tables and must be inserted immediately after the <table> tag.

Also their respective attributes such as orientation and position are unknown to the User Agent and is causing unexpected results when you display them.

I would recommend:

1. Removing the unsupported orientation and position attributes
2. Change content, fig and caption* to a supported element, like div
3. Change graphic to img

You may also want to consider writing an XSL template to transform the XML to supported HTML and use this in conjunction with the AMPscript TransformXML function.
