List to JSON
Write a list as JSON text, to save it or send it.
object.to_json
In a flow
“Works out list to JSON whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
[a, b] → ["a", "b"]
What it does
Write a list as JSON text, to save it or send it. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 1 value 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: write a list as JSON text, to save it or send it.
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
- List List
-
The list to write as JSON, like the Parts from Split text.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in a list. e.g. Hello there, and more like it
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.
