Reading a Json file using Ansible

[Shwetha Hadimani]

Hi,

I have a json file like below called "develop.json"

{
    "releasedata": {
        "release_name": "abcd",
        "release_number": "22"
}

Below is my ansible script. I need to fetch release_name from the file.

---
  - hosts: localhost
    vars:
      version_file: "{{ lookup('file', '/opt/develop.json')  | from_json }}"
    tasks:
       - name: print json file
        debug: msg= "{{ version_file.releasedata.release_name }}"

But this is not working. Kindly help me.

Just use it as a vars file.

vars_file: 

  - '/opt/develop.json'

or via the include_vars module, JSON is a subset of YAML so it can be read as you would any other vars file.
