Error Handling

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

  • JSON marshaling errors (rare)

Usage Notes

  • This node is useful for initializing JSON objects at the beginning of a workflow
  • The created object is empty and can be populated using other JSON nodes like Set
  • Works as a starting point for building JSON structures programmatically
  • Can be combined with Set node to add key-value pairs to the empty object
  • Useful when you need a clean JSON object to work with
  • The output is a valid JSON object that can be used with other JSON processing nodes
  • Can be used multiple times in a workflow to create separate JSON objects
