a JSON Record Data List (see the REST API Cookbook). A JSON Record Data List is a
proprietary JSON object type. It includes a schema entry with information about the types
of all fields at the beginning of the record, and the data set with values after the schema.
This structure allows for easy handling of REST API return values through scripting in
Workflow or in the Designer; see "JSON Record Data List example" on the facing page.
JSON string examples
The following JSON string samples show various techniques to incorporate data in a JSON
string.
A simple JSON structure holding the first and last name of a person:
{
"first": "Peter",
"last": "Parker"
}
A JSON string with references to local variables and a Job Info variable (see "About
variables" on page556):
{
"first":"%{first}",
"last":"%{last}",
"email":"%2"
}
A JSON string containing a local variable and various Data Repository selections (see "Data
Repository lookups" on page51):
{
"jobid":"%{jobid}",
"account":"lookup(OLCS_jobs, account, jobid, '%{jobid}')",
"datafile_name":"lookup(OLCS_jobs, datafile_name, jobid, '%
{jobid}')",
"pages":"lookup(OLCS_jobs, pages, jobid, '%{jobid}')",
"documents":"lookup(OLCS_jobs, documents, jobid, '%{jobid}')",
"recordsetid":"lookup(OLCS_jobs, recordsetid, jobid, '%{jobid}')"
}
An example where the entire JSON string is provided in a Job Info variable:
