JSON JQ TRANSFORM
Byteline provides an easy-to-use JQ tool, which is used in converting JSON data from one structure to another. JQ supports the same set of data types as JSON that includes numbers, strings, booleans, arrays, objects, and null. JSON JQ Transform uses JQ expression to convert a JSON input to another JSON structure.
Byteline offers a simple and user-friendly interface to help you with the easy configuration of a JQ node without touching a line of code.
Byteline supports two ways to convert JSON JQ from one format to another.
- Method 1: With JSON JQ Transform task node.
- Method 2: With JQ function.
Let’s find out.
Method 1: With JSON JQ Transform task node.
Follow the below-mentioned steps to easily configure JQ in Byteline.

Method 2: With JQ function
Step 1: Go to the selector tool in a node to select a function.
Step 2: Click on the Function tab.
Step 3: Click on the JQ function to transform the JSON input to another JSON structure.
Step 4: Enter the JQ expression in the field. This JQ expression will be run on the data on which the function is added.
Step 5: Click on the Save button to save the expression.
