Hi,
in a json file we have this escaped quoted part:
{
inputs: {
"value": "my \\" value \\" is here"
[ .. ]
this json file is read from extra var at command line: -e "@inputs.json"
then a template jinja use it and create another json file . The j2 template use {{ inputs.value }} which become: "my value is here"
-> protected quotes have disappeared, which make our final system to hang.
How to prevent this?
Regards
Hi,
I tried to replicate this, but without success. The quotes were there.
So you probably have to provide more information.
{
inputs: {
"value": "my \\" value \\" is here"[ .. ]
Please note that it must be "inputs" for a proper JSON file. Also
please note that the "value" line you inserted above contains some
special invisible characters that trip up both JSON and YAML parsers.
Cheers,

Sorry i have simplified too much my example.
Here is the whole thing:
inputs_with_escaped_quotes.json :
{
“inputs”: {
“value”: “this is a " escaped quoted " " string " yeah…”
}
}
Tasks :
Escaped_quotes.yml :

Here is the whole thing:
Using templates for structured data like XML and JSON is a bad idea in most cases (IMHO).

Yup.
I would suggest from_json and to_json etc.
hi,
the inputs are read from extra variable : -e “@inputs.json”. So they are already turned into dict. Not enough?

your `jsoncode` is a misnomer at that point since it will
automatically transform into a python structure internally, use
