# JSON Parse

> Turn a JSON string into a structured object the rest of your workflow can use.

## Overview

JSON Parse converts text that looks like JSON into a real object for downstream blocks. It handles parsing errors gracefully instead of breaking the run silently.

Use it when an LLM or HTTP step returns JSON as a string and the next block needs structured fields.

```docsgraph
json-parse
```

## Ports

- **Input , JSON String:** Text containing valid JSON from an upstream block.
- **Output , Parsed Object:** The parsed structure for conditions, loops, or further processing.

## Inspector

JSON Parse has no inspector settings. Behavior comes entirely from the connected input.

## Tips

- Only connect input you expect to be valid JSON text.
- Pair with LLM prompts that explicitly ask for machine-readable JSON.
- Common after HTTP Request or LLM Chat when the next step needs object fields.
- If parsing fails, fix the upstream format before adding more downstream logic.
