In order to link products with each other, you must first add all the necessary characteristics: color, size, volume, type, etc.

Products on the site can be related by one or more characteristics, depending on the need.

In order to automatically link products via XML/JSON files, you need to add additional fields to the file:

at the beginning of the file, after the category list, lists of product groups are created, which include the following data:

1. *id* - Product group ID
2. name - name of the product group
3. type of characteristics
4. characteristics:
   1. namero - product name on Ro
   2. nameru - product name in Ru
   3. name_en - product name starting with En

5. order

   "groups": [
   {
   "group": {
   "id": "0001",
   "name": "0001",
   "selectspecifications": [
   {
   "selectspecification": {
   "namero": "Marimea",
   "nameru": "Size",
   "order": 1
   }
   }
   ],
   "imagesspecifications": [
   {
   "imagesspecification": {
       "namero": "Culoare",
           "nameru": "Color",
           "order": 2
       }
   }
     ],
       "blocksspecifications": [
   {
           "blocksspecification": {
           "namero": "Marime",
           "nameru": "Size",
           "order": 3
       }
      }
     ]
   }

Types of characteristics:

1. select_specifications - displaying the selection of characteristics on the site in the form of a drop-down list.
2. images_specifications - displaying a selection of specifications on the site in the form of small images.
3. blocks_specifications - displaying a selection of characteristics on the site in the form of small blocks (buttons).

For each product, an additional tag is added: productgroups. The IDs of the groups to which this product belongs are added: groupid. A product may belong to several groups.

"product_groups": {  
     "group_id": "001",  
    }
