Mixed array and object JSON

[LordNeilLord]

Hello, I have a feed coming from github which I need to get certain attributes but some of the items are being returned as arrays and some are being returned as objects!

Does anyone know how I can align the 2 types together to perform downstream tasks?

Common problem - you can make sure that they will all be arrays by using the built-in function

sl.ensureArray()

I just get an error from using that

Try it this way:

wow, it was that easy!

I tried every other combination except for that one!

Thanks for your help
