Are there any plans for an IMPORTDATA or GetJSON function to read csv/tsv/json from a url ? #764

Hello,

In Google Sheets it is possible to read csv/tsv from an external source, accessed by URL and then fill in the data in the sheet accordingly. This is done using the IMPORTDATA function

Is there any interest, or are there any plans to implement a similar function in ethercalc ?

Likewise in Google Sheets there is a bit of javascript that allows reading and parsing of JSON from a URL.

Best regards / Colm

P.S. I'd have liked to label this as an enhancement but can't quite see how to do that.
