hello everyone, im having trouble trying to pass a lengthy JSON such as this one:[https://randomuser.me/api/](https://randomuser.me/api/) into a input parameter to dynamically populate information such as the name of the random user, does anyone have input on this?

okay so what i did was this: on the view i made a startup script:  
source1=system.net.httpGet([https://randomuser.me/api/](https://randomuser.me/api/) )|  
source2 = system.util.jsonDecode(source1)|  
self.view.params.details = source2

so when i started i was getting the text from the website into the input parameter but as a giant string, so all i had to do was decode it and wallah, proper formating.
