The idea is:
As we’re dealing with API’s daily, most of them output a JSON string, which needs to be parsed in order to use it in other nodes in the workflow.
I know it might seems like an unnecessary addition [I’ve used the Code node to parse JSON], but it makes the process easier and cleaner! [been using a similar module in make.com]
My use case:
Parse JSON strings
I think it would be beneficial to add this because:
It’s convenient and supaa easyy!
Any resources to support this?

hello @brahimh
Actually, Edit FIelds is able to parse or stringify the JSON

Just tried it, it didn’t work for this JSON string for example
Tried passing the Json directly as {{$json.data}}, and also pasting it there…
Make’s Parse JSON module:
I already got the result I want using Javascript via the code node, But it’d be very helpful to have a node that can handle all JSON Parse Formats…
And what is the issue? I do not see any strings in your example.
you have a JSON object on the screenshot. The Edit Fields node also returns the JSON object. If you want it to return a string, then the type should be “String” and not an “Object”
I mean, each “variable” should be separate so I could use it in the next nodes, which’s not the case when using the Edit Fields node.
No, It should not be separated as you have a nested Array there.
To be able to see the “variable N” as a separate entry, you will need to output it as
{{$json.data[0]}} in JSON Mode (not the Manual Map)
Or you can simply use the Split Node

I explain in the video how I use edit fields

Cool video.
You can achieve the same results with {{ $json.data.parseJson() }} as well, without adding any nodes.
