json_dumps

Serializes a native object (dictionary, list, string, number, etc.) into a JSON-formatted string. This is useful when you need to convert structured data into a JSON string for storage or transmission.

Syntax

json_dumps(obj)

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
obj	any	Yes	The native object to serialize into JSON. Can be a dictionary, list, string, number, boolean, or null.

Returns

Type: string

A JSON-formatted string representing the input object.

Examples

Serialize a dictionary:

json_dumps([record_data])

If record_data is {"key": "value", "count": 5}, the result is '{"key": "value", "count": 5}'.

Serialize a list:

json_dumps([tags])

If tags is ["network", "urgent"], the result is '["network", "urgent"]'.

Build and serialize a custom object:

json_dumps({"source": [sys_id], "migrated": true})

If sys_id is "abc123", the result is '{"source": "abc123", "migrated": true}'.

Notes

• This is the inverse of json_loads.
• The output uses compact formatting by default (no extra whitespace).
• Additional keyword arguments can be passed to control serialization behavior (e.g., indentation), following Python's json.dumps conventions.
