  Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

// Author: Kyle Williams // Purpose: To allow JSON to be formatted even if the API response includes invisible Byte Order Marks. // NOTE: Authorize.net's API sometimes inserts these BOMs into their JSON Response. This is the reason for using this function // When BOMs are included in the JSON responses, they JSON text will not work with any of FM's JSON functions on a Windows PC. (Mac's still work) // In order to make API scripts cross platform compatible, this CF should always be used instead of FMs JSONFormatElements function. JSONFormatElements( Substitute( JSON; Char(65279); "" ) ) Click to copy

This is a redesign of the JSONFormatElements function. The Built in function works ok but is in need of some improvements. Byte Order Marks (BOMs) can cause issues on Windows PCs.
