<h1>Custom Web pages with JSON</h1>
<p>You can embed custom Web pages written in <a href="https://www.json.org/index.html"><strong>JSON</strong></a> into AutoConnect without AutoConnectAux &amp; AutoConnectElements declaration. Custom Web page declaration by JSON can embed in the Sketch as a fixed string or can store in the external file such as SPIFFS for stream loading. Also, you can also load and save AutoConnectElements objects individually.<sup id="fnref:1"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:1">1</a></sup></p>
<p>By providing the following JSON document to AutoConnect, you can include the custom Web page like the below:</p>
<div style="float:left;width:50%;height:470px;overflow:auto"><img src="images/ac_json.png"></div>
<p><img style="margin-left:30px;width:40%;height:470px;" src="images/ac_mqtt_setting.png"></p>
<p>A JSON document for AutoConnect can contain the custom Web page multiple. You can further reduce the Sketch process by loading multiple pages of JSON document at once.</p>
<div class="admonition caution">
<p class="admonition-title">Adopt ArduinoJson v5 or v6</p>
<p>To handle AutoConnectAux and AutoConnectElements written in JSON, you need to install the ArduinoJson library. You can adopt either <a href="https://arduinojson.org/v5/doc/installation/">version 5</a> or <a href="https://arduinojson.org/v6/doc/installation/">version 6</a> for the ArduinoJson. AutoConnect supports both versions.</p>

<p>There are two main ways to load the custom Web pages into AutoConnect.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Load directly into AutoConnect</p>
<p>This way does not require an explicit declaration of AutoConnectAux objects with sketches and is also useful when importing the custom Web pages JSON document from an external file such as SPIFFS because the page definition and sketch coding structure can be separated.</p>
<p>Using the <a href="api.html#load">AutoCoonnect::load</a> function, AutoConnect dynamically generates the necessary AutoConnectAux objects internally based on the custom Web page definition of the imported JSON document content. In the Sketch, the generated AutoConnectAux object can be referenced using the <a href="api.html#aux">AutoConnect::aux</a> function. You can reach the AutoConnectElements you desired using the <a href="apiaux.html#getelement">AutoConnectAux::getElement</a> function of its AutoConnectAux.</p>
<p>In the following example, it loads in a batch a JSON document of custom Web pages stored in SPIFFS and accesses to the AutoConnectInput element.</p>

<p>Load to AutoConnectAux and join to AutoConnect</p>
<p>This way declares AutoConnectAux in the Sketch and loads the custom Web pages JSON document there. It has an advantage for if you want to define each page of a custom Web page individually or allocate AutoConnectAux objects dynamically on the Sketch side.</p>
<p>After loading a JSON document using the <a href="apiaux.html#load">AutoConnectAux::load</a> function by each, integrate those into AutoConnect using the <a href="api.html#join">AutoConnect::join</a> function.</p>
<p>In the following example, you can see the difference between two sketches in a sketch modified using the AutoConnectAux::load.</p>

<p>AutoConnect passes the given JSON document directly to the <a href="https://arduinojson.org/v5/api/jsonbuffer/parseobject/"><strong>parseObject()</strong></a> function of the ArduinoJson library for parsing. Therefore, the constraint of the parseObject() function is applied as it is in the parsing of the JSON document for the AutoConnect. That is, if the JSON string is read-only, duplicating the input string occurs and consumes more memory.</p>

<p>AutoConnect uses ArduinoJson library's dynamic buffer to parse JSON documents. Its dynamic buffer allocation scheme depends on the version 5 or version 6 of ArduinoJson library. Either version must have enough buffer to parse the custom web page's JSON document successfully. AutoConnect has the following three constants internally to complete the parsing as much as possible in both ArduinoJson version. These constants are macro defined in <a href="https://github.com/Hieromon/AutoConnect/blob/master/src/AutoConnectDefs.h">AutoConnectDefs.h</a>.</p>
<p>If memory insufficiency occurs during JSON document parsing, you can adjust these constants to avoid insufficiency by using the <a href="https://arduinojson.org/v6/assistant/">JsonAssistant</a> with deriving the required buffer size in advance.</p>
