json.encode

Encodes a specific field from structured data to JSON raw data (string).

Description​

The processor takes data from the target field, encodes it into a JSON value and stores the encoded value in the target field.

This processor is only applicable to fields under .Key, .Payload.Before and .Payload.After, as they can contain structured data.

Configuration parameters​

pipelines:
  - id: example
    status: running
    connectors:

        settings:
          # Field is a reference to the target field. Only fields that are under
          # `.Key` and `.Payload` can be encoded.
          # For more information about the format, see [Referencing
          # fields](https://conduit.io/docs/processors/referencing-fields).
