JsonDecode / String Layer

Parse JSON strings into structured data objects. Similar to Python's json.loads(), JavaScript's JSON.parse(), or R's fromJSON(). Converts valid JSON strings into their corresponding data structures.

Supports all JSON data types:

• Objects ({...})
• Arrays ([...])
• Strings
• Numbers
• Booleans
• null

Common applications:

• Processing API responses
• Parsing web service data
• Reading configuration files
• Extracting nested data structures
• Working with document databases
• Analyzing event logs
• Processing IoT device data

Example transformations:

• '{"name":"John"}' → {name: "John"}
• '[1,2,3]' → [1, 2, 3]
• '{"active":true}' → {active: true}
• '{"data":null}' → {data: null}

Note: Invalid JSON strings or parsing errors result in null values. UTF-8 encoding is assumed for string content.
