Additional Informatoin on Query Language - Examples

[DnOberon]

Is there any additional information on the query language, the JSON interface in particular, apart from the couple of examples? Are there any guides, tutorials, or in-depth documentation of how to use it and query structure?

I recommend using the "Console" application, accessible on your instance of BIMserver (YourBimServerAddress/apps/console/), it lists all the available methods, the structure and parameters they expect, and the structure of their response. (A lot of them aren't really documented, though)

Dear TitouanGisle, apologize for my lack of knowledge but how do I access the "Console" which you refereed? I am searching for the same information on how to use the JSON query in BIMserver (version 1.5.162) and how does JSON maps the IFC structure (entities, properties, etc.).

Dear @DnOberon did you find it?

Many thanks in advance.

Sorry for the stupid question, I found the console.

However the methods and structures detailed are mostly for interface, plugin and service administration. What I was looking for is any documentation on how to use JSON queries and how does the BIMserver JSON maps the IFC structure (built in EXPRESS language). The builtin JSON queries do provide some very basic ideas but they are very few, limited and just analyzing them I can't deduce how it does the IFC mapping.

Regards,

I don't know if there is an official documentation for the JSON query language (other than the BIMvie.ws examples), but the anwser to issue #687 was particularry helpful for me to better understand how it works.
