JSON builder

Creates an array or a dictionary, and serializes it to JSON.

Inputs

• mode

  • Sets the mode in which a JSON is built. This can be: Array or Dictionary.

• keys

  • The list of string values that defines the dictionary keys when mode is set to Dictionary.

• values

  • The list of varying values to be built into a JSON string. This can be a list of any data type (number, string, or vector).

Outputs

• JSON

  • The array, or dictionary, as a JSON string.

Note(s)

• When the mode input is set to Dictionary the input lists of keys and values must be of equal length.

• Typically this node is used to build a JSON string to provide a list of parameters and values to a graph asset node.

  • If you are building a parameter set for a graph asset, parameter names (a string list) need to be provided as keys, and values for those parameters need to be provided as values within a dictionary format.

  • As parameters can be of many different data types, a combine data node is often used to supply the input for the values input.

• Other names for this node include: JSONBuilder and JSON string.

Example(s)

• Graph referencing • Using the JSON builder and combine data to build a parameter set
