Parses a JSON string into a data object. Use this when a value arrives as JSON wrapped up in a single piece of text, for example an API that returns XML with one field holding a JSON string, or a message where the body is a JSON document. It reads the text and turns it back into structured data, so the keys and values inside become regular fields you can read and map.

​
Fields

This mapper has no settings to configure. Point it at the JSON text you want to parse and it does the rest.

Sample data

FieldValue
(no settings)
Input: 
{
    "payload": "{\"sku\":\"A1\",\"name\":\"Wool scarf\",\"price\":19.99,\"inStock\":true}"
}
Output: 
{
    "payload": {
        "sku": "A1",
        "name": "Wool scarf",
        "price": 19.99,
        "inStock": true
    }
}
The difference looks small at first glance: the input is one piece of text that happens to contain JSON, while the output is real structured data you can work with field by field.
