tm_jsondecode Function

tm_jsondecode interprets a given string as JSON, returning a representation of the result of decoding that string.

The JSON encoding is defined in RFC 7159.

This function maps JSON values to Terramate language values in the following way:

JSON type	Terramate type
String	string
Number	number
Boolean	bool
Object	object(...) with attribute types determined per this table
Array	tuple(...) with element types determined per this table
Null	The Terramate null value

The Terramate language automatic type conversion rules mean that you don't usually need to worry about exactly what type is produced for a given value, and can just use the result in an intuitive way.

Examples

tm_jsondecode("{\"hello\": \"world\"}")
{
  "hello" = "world"
}
tm_jsondecode("true")
true
