Hi!

I know absolutely nothing about python but I'm very comfortable with vex. I would like to store a .json content on a vex string. If it's not possible to read a .json directly from a vex wrangle, can somebody tell me exactly how to do it with python? ...could be stored in a Detail attribute.

Thanks

-Olivier

VEX has json functions:

I think so as dictionary attributes were also added in 18.5.
