Upgrade StorageImport Crossref Item JSON Error
My goal was to import a single item's biblio record as JSON from Crossref data found here:
https://api.crossref.org/v1/works/10.1163/9789004346673-wmd-all
I saved the text as a .JSON file, then used Zotero's File > Import... menu to try and import from that file. I received an error, "The selected file is not in a supported format."
Perhaps I am doing something wrong. Thank in advance for steering me correctly.

adamsmithZotero doesn't support CrossRef JSON (it does support the Unixref XML schema that the CrossRef API also exports)

jwjwjThanks Adam!

sdspiegIs this still the case?

aborelWouldn't it be easier to just add the reference using its DOI? https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero#add_item_by_identifier

adamsmithIt's still the case, though. Zotero has basic parsing code for CrossRef JSON in its translator for the CrossRef API (https://github.com/zotero/translators/blob/master/Crossref-REST.js ), which is used, I believe, for ZoteroBib and the metadata retrieval for PDFs, so it's basically there and could be pulled out, but there's never been much of reason -- the Unixref format has a couple of small advantages and we've tested in more thoroughly.
