Turns JSON into TV input options in MODX.

getTVInputsFromJson.snippet.php

<?php
/*
 * getTVInputsFromJson
 * @author @sepiariver <[email protected]>
 * 
 * Example usage:
 * 1. Create a Chunk with this Snippet call: [[getTVInputsFromJson? &jsonFile=`http://schema.org/docs/tree.jsonld`]]
 * 2. Create a Single-Select TV with @CHUNK binding for "Input Options": @CHUNK my_schema_tv_chunk
 * 3. Resources with the TV enabled will get a list of schema.org itemtype property values, like this screenshot: http://sepiariver.co/1KUr4LJ
