hierarchical data/layer structures

[nitrada]

the data hierarchy

* group1
  * item1
  * item2
  * item3
* group2
  * item1
  * item2
  * item3
…

could be matched to the following layer hierarchy

* layergroupA
   * layergroup1
   * layergroup2
   * layergroup3
* layergroupB
   * layergroup1
   * layergroup2
   * layergroup3

meaning that {placeholders} will only be replaced on the respective level of the hierarchy

this would be rad!

I'm dealing with a JSON file with a lot of levels of objects and It would be really great if this type of file was supported, for example:

   "images":{  
          "landscape":{  
             "landscape-01":"assets/landscape.jpg",
             "landscape-02":"assets/landscape-02.jpg"
          },
          "portrait":{  
             "portrait-01":"assets/portrait-01.jpg",
             "portrait-02":"assets/portrait-02.jpg"
          },
          "logo":{  
             "logo-01":"assets/logo-01.jpg",
             "logo-02":"assets/logo-02.jpg"               
          },
          "background":{  
             "background-01":"assets/bg-01.jpg",
             "background-02":"assets/bg-02.jpg"
          }

Apologies if this is already possible, I couldn't seem to get results

@fculshaw this is not yet possible but exactly what we need. :)

+1 for this idea. Currently it seems like all data needs to have the same types/fields, but it would be hugely useful to have some asymmetrical datasets.

[theoBLT]

+1 for this idea too, multiple object level support would be awesome and make this plugin really cool.
