Converts a JSON object to its string representation.

Inputs​

  • Payload - JSON object to be converted to string.

Options​

This node does not have any options.

Outputs​

  • Value - String representation of the JSON object.

How It Works​

The Encode node converts a JSON object to its string format. When executed, the node:

  1. Receives a JSON object through the Payload input
  2. Uses JSON marshaling to convert the object to a string
  3. Outputs the string representation through the Value output

Requirements​

  • Valid JSON object as input

Error Handling​

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

  • Invalid JSON object in the Payload input
  • JSON marshaling errors

Usage Notes​

  • This node is useful for converting JSON objects to strings for storage or transmission
  • The output string is in standard JSON format
  • Works with nested JSON objects and arrays
  • Useful when you need to store JSON data as text or send it over networks
  • Can be combined with Decode node to convert strings back to JSON objects
  • The string output can be used with file writing or API request nodes
  • Works with any valid JSON structure including objects, arrays, strings, numbers, and booleans
  • The output string includes proper JSON formatting with quotes and braces
