Prototype: parsejson(json_data)
Return type: data
Description: Parses JSON data directly from an inlined string and
returns the result as a data
variable
Arguments:
json_data
:string
, in the range:.*
Please note that because JSON uses double quotes, it's usually most convenient to use single quotes for the string (CFEngine allows both types of quotes around a string).
This function can accept many types of data parameters.
Example:
vars:
"loadthis"
data => parsejson('{ "key": "value" }');
# inline syntax since 3.7
"loadthis_inline"
data => '{ "key": "value" }';
History: The collecting function behavior was added in 3.9.
