// How to repeat
// Create schema, populate data

use test;
drop table if exists employees;
create table employees(id int, firstname varchar(100),lastname varchar(100),key(id));
insert into employees values(1,"Mysql","my'SQL");

-- SELECT table data, export as .json

SELECT * FROM test.employees;

-- Truncate table, use Table Data import wizard option to import just exported.json file

bug #77270 is a duplicate of this one.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.3.5 release, and here's the changelog entry:

When importing JSON,
the Table Data Import wizard would fail at the Configure Import Settings
step, and emit "Can't analyze file, please try to change encoding
type...".

Thank you for the bug report.

I am still encountering this bug, using MySQL Workbench 6.3.5 Build 201 CE (64-bit) on Windows 7 Enterprise SP 1.

I am unable to do a data import using JSON.
