How I finally simplified nested JSON reporting in Oracle APEX 24.2

Anyone else feel like they spend 80% of their reporting time just flattening JSON? I recently upgraded a project to APEX 24.2, and while the native data export is great for simple tables, I hit a wall with a client who needed heavily branded, multi-level reports. I was staring at a massive PL/SQL package just to handle the data mapping when I decided to try a different approach. The Problem Mapping nested JSON to a specific layout usually means: Writing complex SQL/JSON logic. Manually defining every single column and header.
