The JSON is an object with a field (node-info) that contains an array element. The array elements are objects with the following properties: (i) node-id (string), (ii) node-name (string), (iii) longitude (float), (iv) latitude (float) and (v) population (float). Not all the information of the node may be present. If node-id is present is preferred instead of node name to identify the node. The entries in the object matching a node-id or node-name in the design are imported. If population of longitude/latitude are not present, the previous node values are kept
