Working With JSON Data in Node Red

JSON is popular format for encoding data sent over the Internet, and also for data stored in files.
In this video tutorial we take a more detailed look at node-red and JSON data.
We look at the JSON.parse() and JSON.stringify() functions which you can use in the function node and also the JSON node which does the encoding and decoding for you.

We look at decoding JSON data using the JSON expression editor in the change node.

You will learn how to extract data from JSON strings,payload and message objects using the function node and the change node and the expression editor and jsonata.
We also look at working through JSON data using the node command line.

This is very useful when troubleshooting JSON data problems.

You will also encounter errors when decoding JSON data we look at creating JSON data using the inject node and what the message Unexpected token in JSON at position 0 means
