Json data loaded using %load_json doesn't work if the root is an array rather than an object.
{"fruit":["apple","pear","banana"]} is OK
["apple","pear","banana"] is not OK
.
Yes, that is a defect.
See similar issue here, without `%load_json` by just with json element:
@startjson [1, 2, 3] @endjson
@startuml json JSON { [1, 2, 3] } @enduml
