!! Text References for Accessing JSON Data

[[Text references|TextReference]] are a simple shortcut syntax to look up the value of a named property. For example, if a [[DictionaryTiddler|DictionaryTiddlers]] called `MonthDays` contains:

```
oct:31
nov:30
dec:31
```

... then `{{MonthDays##nov}}` will resolve to the value `30`.

The same is true if `MonthDays` is a [[JSONTiddler|JSONTiddlers]] with the following content:

```
{"oct":31,"nov":30,"dec":31}
```
