About
In JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), an object is a collection of key-value pairs.
It’s wrapped in curly braces { }, and each key-value pair inside it follows this format:
json CopyEdit "key": value
Example:
Here’s a JSON object representing a property listing:
json CopyEdit { "address": "123 Maple Street", "price": 450000, "bedrooms": 3, "bathrooms": 2, "square_feet": 1800, "status": "For Sale" }Explanation:
The whole thing (inside the
{ }) is a JSON object.It contains multiple key-value pairs:
"address"is the key,"123 Maple Street"is the value (a string)."price"is the key,450000is the value (a number).And so on.
Quick Facts About JSON Objects:
Keys must be strings, always in quotes.
Values can be strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, other objects, or null.
Pairs are separated by commas.
JSON Object vs JSON Array:
{ ... }= object (key-value pairs)[ ... ]= array (Lists of values or objects)
Example with Both:
json CopyEdit { "listings": [ { "address": "123 Maple Street", "price": 450000 }, { "address": "456 Oak Avenue", "price": 525000 } ] }"listings"is a key.The value is an array of objects, each representing a single real estate listing.
How-to
Feed in an existing object.
This could be from a panel or the result of another node
Feed in a list of key-value pairs to add to the object
This could be from a panel or the result of another node
The result is the object and the key-value pairs wrapped as an object
