====== Set Dictionary to JSON ======

The //Set Dictionary to JSON// (v9.0+) action lets you set a Keyboard Maestro dictionary from a [[manual:JSON]] dictionary.

{{ set-dictionary-to-json.png?nolink&591x157 | Set Dictionary to JSON }}

The action will take a specified dictionary name and a JSON container (dictionary or array) and will set the dictionary based on the field names or array indices to the corresponding values.

For example, with JSON dictionary `{ "first" : "John", "last" : "Smith" }`, the action will set the dictionary key `first` to `John` and key `last` to Smith.

===== Action Options (Gear ⚙ Menu) =====

You can control what text processing happens in the JSON field by selecting one of these options from the Gear Menu:

* Process Text Normally (process text tokens and backslash characters)
* Process Text Tokens Only (process text tokens but not backslash characters)
* Process Nothing (process neither text tokens nor backslash characters)

You can select Pretty JSON result mode, which affects the dictionary values for entries that are themselves JSON containers (See the [[manual:JSON]] user manual section).

You can select Strict JSON result mode, which affects the dictionary values for entries that are plain strings (See the [[manual:JSON]] user manual section).

And you can optionally have all the non-matching keys removed.
