How It Works

The Write node converts a JSON object to its string representation and writes it to a file. When executed, the node:

1. Receives a JSON object through the Payload input
2. Receives a file path through the Path input
3. Converts the JSON object to a formatted string with indentation
4. Creates or overwrites the file at the specified path
5. Writes the JSON string to the file

Requirements

• Valid JSON object as input
• Valid file path for writing
• Write permissions for the specified directory

Error Handling

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

• Empty file path
• Invalid JSON object in the Payload input
• Insufficient write permissions
• File system access errors
• Invalid file path

Usage Notes

• This node is useful for saving JSON data to files for storage or export
• The output file will be formatted with proper indentation for readability
• If the file already exists, it will be overwritten
• The file path can be absolute or relative
• Useful for data export, configuration saving, and logging workflows
• Can be combined with other JSON nodes to prepare data before writing
• Works with nested JSON objects and arrays
• The output file will be in standard JSON format with proper quotes and braces
• Supports any valid JSON structure including objects, arrays, strings, numbers, and booleans
