Problem

A "Hello World" or Get started guide is missing. What can a user do after this extension was added to vs code?

I assume it helps to create a connector to retrieve records from a datasource (for example a json file) and turn the records into usable output for power bi. But this is not mentioned directly.

Desired Solution

A tutorial that guides the user to create a custom connector using a local json file as input and convert this into output (tables) suited for Power BI Desktop

Alternatives and Workarounds

There is no alternative for a getting started guide

Additional Context

In my use case i want to use the jira rest api to get issue data in a json file (multiple nested json objects). I want to import these into Power BI to create some report (bugs created by week / month) bugs solved by week / month. Breakdown of created, solved bugs by severity (minor, major, blocker, critical).
The first part to get the data records from a json file and turn the data into a format for power bi by creating a custom connector would be immensly helpfull.
