Can anyone suggest on how to convert the json file content to a string inside a variable in ansible.  
The method i used is to “cat xyz.json” and set\_facts to a variable and converting output to to\_json or to\_yaml.  
The u’ is removed but the spaces and ‘/n’ has been added.

Can anyone suggest the solution to convert json file to string variable.
