PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 14.0 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: April 11, 2014

Benefits with the query editor file:


  • Can import query in JSON.

  • Can build and modify the query editor file for specific search.

  • Can build the file from a text editor.

  • Can generate query systems through an application.

  • Can use it in other programming environments.
