RSLog JSON Export Format - Comprehensive Reference

Overview

RSLog exports geotechnical project data in a structured JSON format. This comprehensive reference combines detailed field mappings with descriptive explanations to help third-party applications integrate with RSLog data.

How this format relates to the DataTemplate: Every RSLog project is associated with a DataTemplate, which defines the reference data available to that project -- sample types, drill methods, classification terms, descriptors, and more. Many fields in the project JSON are lookup fields (marked "Yes (lookup)" in the tables below) whose values must match entries defined in the project's DataTemplate. For a complete mapping of which export field resolves to which DataTemplate list, see the DataTemplate documentation.

File Structure:

{
  "Properties": { /* File metadata */ },
  "Project": { /* Project information */ },
  "Boreholes": [ /* Array of boreholes with nested data */ ]
}

JSON naming convention: All keys in the project export use PascalCase (e.g. FileVersion, Boreholes, FromDepth). This differs from the RSLog DataTemplate Format, which uses camelCase.

Integration Guidelines

Producing Data for RSLog Import

If you are a third-party vendor producing project JSON for import into RSLog, keep the following in mind:

  1. Use the same file structure. The import expects the same Properties / Project / Boreholes top-level shape documented above, with PascalCase keys.

  2. Match lookups to the target DataTemplate. Fields marked "Yes (lookup)" must contain values that exist in the DataTemplate assigned to the target project. For example, if the DataTemplate defines a sample type with title = "SPT Split Spoon", the import file must use "TypeName": "SPT Split Spoon" -- not an abbreviation. The full mapping of which export field resolves to which DataTemplate list is in the DataTemplate Format documentation.

  3. Required vs optional fields. Fields marked "Yes" in the Required column must be present. Fields marked "Conditional" are required only when the stated condition is met. All other fields can be omitted or set to null. Collections (Samples, Stratigraphy, etc.) can be empty arrays or omitted entirely.

  4. Depth convention. Depths are measured below ground surface. FromDepth is always less than ToDepth for any interval.

  5. Calculated fields are ignored on import. Fields marked "Used in RSLog Import? No" (such as Thickness, TotalTestholes, GroundwaterElev) are calculated by RSLog and do not need to be populated.

  6. Enum fields require integer codes. Do not pass string descriptions for enum fields. Use the numeric values from the Enum Reference section (e.g. "Temperature": 1 for Fahrenheit, not "Temperature": "Fahrenheit").

  7. Date and time strings. Use ISO 8601 format for dates ("2025-03-15" or "2025-03-15T08:00:00Z"). Times are simple strings ("08:00").

Working with Enum Fields

Fields labeled as Enum (int) or Enum (int?) contain numeric codes that represent specific values. Always refer to the Enum Reference section to understand what each number means.

Examples:

Integration Tip: Store both the numeric value and its string representation for better readability in your system.

Working with Lookups

Many fields reference controlled vocabularies (e.g., UnitSystem, DrillMethod, ConsistencyDescriptor). These require matching against your own reference data:

Pattern: Fields ending in "Name", "Title", "Symbol", or "Descriptor" are typically lookup fields.

Example:

{
  "UnitSystem": "Imperial",
  "UnitSystemId": "12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012"
}

Coordinate System Understanding

Lat/Long vs Latitude/Longitude:

Integration Tip: Use Lat/Long for reliable geographic positioning across different coordinate systems.

Depth Convention

RSLog uses depth below surface as the primary measurement:

Date/Time Formats

Date and time fields are exported as strings in various formats:

Complex Nested Objects

Some objects have flexible JSON structures:

Parse these as dynamic JSON when needed.

Boolean vs Enum Fields

Some fields that appear boolean are actually enums exported as integers. See the Enum Reference section for complete definitions:
