Import json data into Excel

You can do this in VBA with the vba-json
library. Here's an example of some code I copied:
Sub TestJsonDecode() 'This works, uses vba-json library
Dim lib As New JSONLib 'Instantiate JSON class object
Dim jsonParsedObj As Object 'Not needed
jsonString = "{'key1':'val1','key2':'val2'}"
Set jsonParsedObj = lib.parse(CStr(jsonString))
For Each keyName In jsonParsedObj.keys
MsgBox "Keyname=" & keyName & "//Value=" & jsonParsedObj(keyName)
Next
Set jsonParsedObj = Nothing
Set lib = Nothing
End Sub
Sub TestJsonEncode() 'This works, uses vba-json library
Dim lib As New JSONLib 'Instantiate JSON class object
Set arr = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
arr("key1") = "val1"
arr("key2") = "val2"
MsgBox lib.toString(arr)
End Sub
Solution 2
Paste the JSON into json-csv.com.
Download the resultant CSV file.
Open the CSV file up in Excel.
Solution 3
Here are some example excel downloads with json excel connversion capabilities. You can do it straight from within excel.

I have a text file in json format and want to read it into Excel. A very simplified example of the json file has the following structure:
{ [ { 'a': 10, 'b': 20 }, { 'a': 20, 'b': 22 }, { 'a': 11, 'b': 24 } ] }
I want to convert it to Excel in which each record becomes a row in excel with the selected parameters as the column headers.

Admin almost 14 yearsPardon my ignorance; which of the values above are the "records" and which are the "selected parameters"?
-
Admin almost 14 yearsA record would be { 'a': 10, 'b': 20 } and the parameters would be 'a' and 'b'.
