jsonencode
encodes a given value to a string using JSON syntax.
The JSON encoding is defined in RFC 7159.
This function maps Terraform language values to JSON values in the following way:
Terraform type JSON typestring
String number
Number bool
Bool list(...)
Array set(...)
Array tuple(...)
Array map(...)
Object object(...)
Object Null value null
Since the JSON format cannot fully represent all of the Terraform language types, passing the jsonencode
result to jsondecode
will not produce an identical value, but the automatic type conversion rules mean that this is rarely a problem in practice.
When encoding strings, this function escapes some characters using Unicode escape sequences: replacing <
, >
, &
, U+2028
, and U+2029
with \u003c
, \u003e
, \u0026
, \u2028
, and \u2029
. This is to preserve compatibility with Terraform 0.11 behavior.
The jsonencode
command outputs a minified representation of the input.
> jsonencode({"hello"="world"})
{"hello":"world"}
jsondecode
performs the opposite operation, decoding a JSON string to obtain its represented value.RetroSearch is an open source project built by @garambo | Open a GitHub Issue
