     Can any of the #libreoffice spreadsheet users out there tell me if there is an "import JSON" extension available at this time, or if there are any plans to add the function to Calc any time in the near future. Thanks in advance :)

     Strongly believe you should develop and integrate this extension in the core Libreoffice, it will make Excel with the VB macros a thing of the past 🙃

     @qwertziop @InsertUser Then... Don't use it 😉 It's a purely optional extension, after all, not built-in to the software...

     I read it and got an impression of tactical face palm

     Given the difficulty Excel has had with malicious macros this seems like it could be asking for trouble.

     @DoKo @FreieSoftwareOG Well, OpenOffice's last big update was in 2014, and it's had repeated problems fixing security holes on time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – But LibreOffice is the properly maintained and actively developed successor project 😊

     @libreoffice @FreieSoftwareOG what's the problem with using it the other way. Python using Open Office, not Open Office using Python?
