Cascader

Displays the content as a categorized menu using parent→children view. The children options will be opened when the user selects or hovers over the parent option.

JSON Data to show cascading selections

This accepts the content as a JSON packet and all the children nodes are contained in the packet. Each element has the following properties and values corresponding to the property.

Property	Description
value	Recommended keeping this value unique for referring to the node during development
label	The label that is displayed to denote each node
children	A node may have zero children, or it can have as many nested children as needed to display in a submenu

Default Value

This is the JSON value extracted from cascaded data to show it as the default value when the user focuses on the widget. If the user wants to show the default value from the nested child node, the value should start with the parent node and reach to the children node using the separator as below.

["California","San Francisco","The Golden Gate Bridge"]

Placeholder

Specifies a hint that describes the expected value. The placeholder shows the hint text in the widget when nothing is selected or entered. This text disappears as soon as a value is entered in the control.

Background	Users can change the colour of the text background using this property. It has all the RGB colour ranges to pick from. It is recommended to use a corresponding background colour that shows the font clearly.

On the web, an accent is sometimes used in input elements for the active portion of the control, for instance, the background of a checked checkbox. MSDN web docs
