Hello, everyone!

Database is mysql. Is it possible?

I'm pretty sure DB Connect cannot do that, but you should be able to write a modular/scripted input that leverages relevant libraries to read MySQL records and convert them into JSON.

What problem are you trying to solve?

I would agree with @richgalloway 

@bosseres  - Is there any reason you don't like key=value pairs created by DB Connect?
