I was able to convert a list of yaml to Json format.

The below is my yaml.

Listofstrings:  
- s1  
- S2  
Etc

{% for in in listofstrings %}  
{ Stringslist : [  
{ String : " { i } " },  
]  
{% end %}

So how do I remove the last comma in my json file to ensure proper Json format.

The Q's may sound naive but any help is greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't recommend handcrafting json. Have a look at the to\_json and  
to\_nice\_json filters:
