Tidy or shrink JSON
Lay JSON out with indents so a person can read it, or squash it onto one line.
json.pretty
In a flow
“Works out tidy or shrink JSON whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
{"a":1} → indented
What it does
Lay JSON out with indents so a person can read it, or squash it onto one line. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 2 values later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: lay JSON out with indents so a person can read it, or squash it onto one line.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- JSON Text
-
JSON text.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in text. e.g. Hello there
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, it uses {"a":1,"b":[1,2]}.
