Parameters:

• data (string) — JSON data to validate

Parameters:

• original (string) — Original JSON object
• modified (string) — Modified JSON object

json_transform

Apply transformations to JSON data. Supports four operations:

• pick — Extract specific fields by dot-notation paths
• rename — Rename top-level keys using a mapping object
• flatten — Flatten nested objects into dot-separated keys
• unflatten — Restore dot-separated keys into nested objects

Parameters:

• data (string) — JSON data to transform
• operation (string) — One of: pick, rename, flatten, unflatten
• fields (string[]) — For pick: field paths to extract
• mapping (object) — For rename: old-to-new key mapping
• separator (string) — For flatten/unflatten: separator character (default: ".")

• delimiter (string) — Column delimiter (default: ",")
• castTypes (boolean) — Auto-cast numbers and booleans (default: false)

json_to_csv

Convert a JSON array of objects to CSV text. Headers are derived from the union of all object keys.

Parameters:

• data (string) — JSON array to convert
• delimiter (string) — Column delimiter (default: ",")
