JsonUtils component
Use this component to perform the following tasks:
Deserialize a JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) string into an object that you can work with in an automation.
Serialize an object into a JSON string to pass as a parameter to a REST API call or append to a JSON file.
Set a value in a JSON string.
When you add this component to an automation, Pega Robotic Automation Studio places it on the Global tab of the component tray so other automations in the project can reference it. You can find this component in the Interaction Management section of the Pega Robotic Automation Studio toolbox.
