Dealing with JSON strings in Power Apps

Overview: I get a JSON string representing an object into Power Apps.  I want to extract the values so i can use them in PowerApps.

2. In Power Apps, use string manipulations to extract data as shown here:

Thoughts: I feel this is a big challenge for NoCode/LowCode solutions like Power Platform, it can be overcome with a little jiggery-pokery but I feel the PowerFx language should have an ability to cast JSON into an object and in turn allow object arrays in collections.  A lot of people have been asking for this on UserVoice.
