Populating JSON data into sitefinity

I'm trying to grab JSON data from our WebAPI's. I want to be able to parse and populate the data into a sitefinity page. What might be the best approach to this problem? Would building a custom widget solve this problem?

Thanks

Hello Xin,

 Thank you for contacting us. 

Yes building a custom widget is your best bet to consume JSON from an outside source and display it on the page. With this method you could consume the WebAPI as you would in any other asp.net application as the widget's are based off user controls or custom controls. Here's a video on how to create custom widgets. If you don't have it already I highly recommend using Sitefinity Thunder as it makes the process infinitely easier from development to installing your custom widget.

I hope this helps.
