Variable in JSON

[Alok Ranjan]

Dear All,

Can anyone please let me know how to use a register variable in JSON.

Where JSON is passed as an argument to a command using command module.

Any help or assistance would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Alok

Something like this should work:

[wani@linux tmp ]$ cat a.yaml
- hosts: localhost

tasks:
- command: 'echo {\"key\": \"value\"}'
register: my_output

- debug:
msg: "{{ my_output.stdout | from_json }}"


On, run, it will show:

TASK [debug] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
task path: /tmp/a.yaml:7
ok: [localhost] => {
"changed": false,
"msg": {
"key": "value"
