Google – Auto Complete using JSON in FIleMaker 16

I am excited to share with you some of the new features now that FileMaker 16 has officially been released.  

In this post I thought I would start out simple and show the JSON parsing function coupled with a simple API call which allows for simpler data entry when it comes to entering in an address.

Many of you have probably visited websites where you can start entering in an address and a list of predicted addresses appear.  

The more text you enter in the provided field the closer you get to the address you are looking for.  

This is the same technique you can use when implementing the Google Places AutoComplete API.

Address Auto Complete

Address Auto-Complete allows a user to type in an address, the auto-complete function will then return a list of possible matching addresses.

If the user sees a matching address they can click on it and populate the info into the appropriate fields.
