JQ Task

JQ task is a system task that allows processing of task input parameters JSON data, by using the popular JQ processing tool's query expression language.

There are several tabs available where you can configure a JQ task:

• General tab
• Input Parameters tab
• JQ Filter tab
• Routing tab

The configuration of the General, Input Parameters, and Routing tabs is similar to that of a user task. We discuss only the JQ Filter tab here.

JQ Filter tab

From the JQ Filter tab, setup the following fields:

Field	Required	Description
Expression	Yes	The JQ query expression. For complete JQ documentation, refer to the JQ Manual.

The Test with Input Parameters button allows you to test the JQ query expression with the task input parameters JSON data.

Output

The result for the JQ expression is a JSON Object with the following fields:

Field	Description
result	The first results returned by the JQ expression
resultList	A List of results returned by the JQ expression
