Question

I’ve got a MongoDB which I query and the result I serialize and this string I send to my ftl template. Below is the serialized result:

        [
            {
              "id" : "10",
              "title" : "Test Title 1",
              "partner" : {
                "id" : "1",
                "name" : "partner 1 ",   
                "location" : [{
                    "locationname" : "locationname 1a",
                    "city" : ""
                  },{
                    "locationname" : "locationname 1b",
                    "city" : ""
                    }]
              }
            },
            {
              "id" : "6",
              "title" : "Test Title 2",
              "partner" : {
                "id" : "1",
                "name" : "partner 2 ",   
                "location" : [{
                    "locationname" : "locationname 2b",
                    "city" : ""
                  }]
              }
            }  
        ]

How would I use this in my ftl template?

Thanks for any help.

If you really have to serialize before giving the result to FreeMarker… The JSON syntax for maps and lists happens to be a subset of FTL, so assuming the serialized result is in res, res?eval will give you a list of maps.
