Bernhard was fantastic in assisting with an issue I believed I was having with the plugin. It was my fault user error because I had spacing in my query/script. I definitely appreciate his effort and fast assistance in diagnosing and resolving the problem.

This plugin does everything that I need it to do, and when the guys who made my API fell down on the job, the JSON Content Importer guys really helped me out and I was able to get the job done. Highly recommended!
