Hi @abdel74100, can you describe what your exact problem is, what you tried and what did not work? ---

Hi Stéphane Thank you for you suport! 😅 let me describe my problem to you. If you see the above data (API configuration data) we first have generic values: ` ` “active”: true, “name”: “conjug”, “description”: “Helps conjugate words together”, “type”: “API”, ` ` so 2.A nested object name \*\* config \*\* in this config object we also have generic values ` ` “protocol”: “https”, “host”: “[nr-faabrik-testsqddqsdqsdmix.net](http://nr-faabrik-testsqddqsdqsdmix.net)”, “generic”: true, ` ` after that 3 “action” objects but we could have 1 or 2 or 4 depending on the name of the API here (conjug) I would like to be able to display all of this and dynamically add or remove actions / mapping / In and mapping / Out and also be able to modify their values. What is the best solution ? 1.I have thought of a recursive function? for each key whose value is an object I generate an array 2. try to generate the schema dynamically ---

Hi @abdel74100, I would like to recommend creating a JSON Schema which describes your data format. This JSON Schema can then be handed over to JSON Forms which in turn will render a UI for your data. I can recommend [this guide](https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/) to get started with JSON Schema. ---

Hy stephane I’m already using jsonfom my question is if I should set everything for a schema like mine where there are multiple nested objects it’s long very long or is there a way to do it I’m looking in the documentation…but not found ---

We have a very basic `Generate.schema` utility by which you can generate a default JSON Schema based on your data. However the resulting schema will be very basic as it doesn’t know anything about your domain. You could use that as a starting point. ---

ok thanks i will try and another question jsonform does not support DOT in the key? example: “parameters.selector” is my key and does not appear Very thanks Stephane ---

Hi! Dot in keys currently don’t properly work in JSON Forms. We have an [open issue](https://github.com/eclipsesource/jsonforms/issues/1631) for that. ---

Hey Stephane I would like to generate the schema dynamically according to the datas I give it I use the “json-s-generator” package before switching to jsonform but doesn’t jsonfor already have a way to do it? thanks ---

We have a `Generate` utility we export from `@jsonforms/core`. With it you can generate JSON Schemas and UI Schemas, e.g. `const generatedUiSchema = Generate.uiSchema(schema)`. ---

great thank you very much Stéphane !! and how can i access the preprocessing function in the options? example `const generateSchema = Generate.jsonSchema (obj, options);` normally the options have a function to process the input data, don’t they? for example if i have a type : null i replace it by a type 'string" ---

We don’t have a preprocessing option. I would like to suggest to preprocess your data/schema/uischema before handing it over to JSON Forms.
