# JSON Parse

## Overview

![The JSON Parse Node.](https://3009747178-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MIspkFTPkuGkv4UgQGs-1330240639%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a5192cf146b6efce36916100989bc510b5b831a4%2Fjsonparse.png?alt=media)

The **JSON Parse Node** allows the user to access the values of a *JSON* file in an **Array** format. JavaScript Object Notation (*JSON*) is a data-interchange format, commonly used by APIs. A **Node**, such as **HTTP Get**, can convert a *JSON* file into a **String** format that can be used as `Input`. A **Load File Node** can also be used for the `Input` **String**. Alternatively, a *JSON* file text can be typed into the `Value` section.

## Attributes

| Attribute | Type           | Description                                    |
| --------- | -------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `Value`   | **User Input** | A place to paste or type a *JSON* file's text. |

## Inputs

| Input             | Type       | Description                                                           |
| ----------------- | ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Input* (►) | **Pulse**  | A standard **Input Pulse**, to trigger the execution of the **Node**. |
| `Input`           | **String** | The *JSON* file (in **String** format) to parse.                      |

## Outputs

| Output             | Type      | Description                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| ------------------ | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Output* (►) | **Pulse** | A standard **Output Pulse**, to move onto the next **Node** along the **Logic Branch**, once this **Node** has finished its execution.                                                       |
| `Output`           | **Any**   | The parsed key/value pairs of the *JSON* file that can now be accessed as an **Array**. For a different **Data Type**, such as a **Dictionary**, the **Conversion Node** must be used first. |
| `IsArray`          | **Bool**  | Returns *true* or *false* whether or not the parsed output is an **Array**.                                                                                                                  |
