> Aprende a importar objetos en arrays JSON a ClickHouse y a realizar consultas avanzadas con funciones JSON y operaciones con arrays.

<div id="question">
  ## Pregunta

¿Cómo importo arrays de JSON y cómo puedo consultar los objetos internos?

<div id="answer">
  ## Respuesta
</div>

Guarda este array JSON de una sola línea en `sample.json`

```
{"_id":"1","channel":"help","events":[{"eventType":"open","time":"2021-06-18T09:42:39.527Z"},{"eventType":"close","time":"2021-06-18T09:48:05.646Z"}]},{"_id":"2","channel":"help","events":[{"eventType":"open","time":"2021-06-18T09:42:39.535Z"},{"eventType":"edit","time":"2021-06-18T09:42:41.317Z"}]},{"_id":"3","channel":"questions","events":[{"eventType":"close","time":"2021-06-18T09:42:39.543Z"},{"eventType":"create","time":"2021-06-18T09:52:51.299Z"}]},{"_id":"4","channel":"general","events":[{"eventType":"create","time":"2021-06-18T09:42:39.552Z"},{"eventType":"edit","time":"2021-06-18T09:47:29.109Z"}]},{"_id":"5","channel":"general","events":[{"eventType":"edit","time":"2021-06-18T09:42:39.560Z"},{"eventType":"open","time":"2021-06-18T09:42:39.680Z"},{"eventType":"close","time":"2021-06-18T09:42:41.207Z"},{"eventType":"edit","time":"2021-06-18T09:42:43.372Z"},{"eventType":"edit","time":"2021-06-18T09:42:45.642Z"}]}

`Events` es un *Array* de `Tuple`, cada uno con los campos *eventType* `String` y *time* `String`. Este último tipo no es el más adecuado (preferiríamos `DateTime` en su lugar).

Veamos los datos:

```sql theme={null}
clickhousebook.local :) SELECT
                            _id,

                            events.eventType,
                            events.time
                        FROM sample_json_objects_array
                        WHERE has(events.eventType, 'close')

Ejecutemos algunas consultas:

`_id` y `channel` de los eventos cuyo `eventType` tiene el valor `close`

```sql theme={null}
clickhousebook.local :) SELECT
                            _id,
                            channel,

Queremos consultar `time`, por ejemplo, todos los eventos dentro de un intervalo de tiempo determinado, pero vemos que se importó como `String`:

```sql theme={null}
clickhousebook.local :) SELECT toTypeName(events.time) FROM sample_json_objects_array;

SELECT toTypeName(events.time)
FROM sample_json_objects_array

Query id: 27f07f02-66cd-420d-8623-eeed7d501014

Por tanto, para tratarlos como fechas, primero debemos convertirlos a `DateTime`.
Para convertir un array, usamos la función `map`:

```sql theme={null}
clickhousebook.local :) 
                        SELECT
                            _id,
                            channel,
                            arrayMap(x->parseDateTimeBestEffort(x), events.time)
                        FROM
                            sample_json_objects_array

SELECT
    _id,
    channel,
    arrayMap(x -> parseDateTimeBestEffort(x), events.time)

podemos ver las diferencias al usar `toTypeName` en ambos arrays:

ahora obtengamos el `id` de las filas en las que `time` está dentro de un intervalo dado.

usamos `arrayCount` para ver si hay un recuento mayor que 0 de elementos en el array devuelto por la función map que cumplen la condición `x BETWEEN toDateTime('2021-06-18 11:46:00', 'Europe/Rome') AND toDateTime('2021-06-18 11:50:00', 'Europe/Rome')`

```sql theme={null}

⚠️

Recuerde que, en el momento de redactar este artículo, la implementación actual de JSON es experimental y no es apta para producción.

Este ejemplo muestra cómo importar JSON rápidamente y empezar a consultarlo, y refleja el equilibrio entre la facilidad de uso —al importar los objetos JSON como tipo `JSON` sin necesidad de definir de antemano el esquema—. Esto es práctico para una prueba rápida; sin embargo, para el uso de los datos a largo plazo, en este ejemplo convendría almacenarlos con los tipos más adecuados; por ejemplo, para el campo `time`, usar `DateTime` en lugar de `String`, a fin de evitar cualquier conversión posterior a la ingestión, como se muestra arriba. Consulte la [documentación](/es/guides/clickhouse/data-formats/json/intro) para obtener más información sobre cómo gestionar JSON.
