Overview
This page explains how the Atlassian product versions page was created. It is an example of how to extract data from other applications that provide JSON data to show current information in Confluence. In this case, the data is publicly available from Atlassian Marketplace.

Extras
@Jamie Echlin suggested linking the page to product release notes. So the following settings were added to the Jira section (similarly for Confluence):
JSON Table settings > Data settings > Output format | wiki |
|---|---|
JSON Table settings > Data format > Augments to data row values | [%version%| https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/JIRA+%version%+Release+Notes] |
