# Parse JSON

**Introduction** 

This step converts a JSON string into a structured format based on a specified schema, enabling the use of JSON content within automations.

**Configuration**

1. **Content**: Input the JSON string that needs to be parsed. This is a required field.
2. **Schema**: Define the schema that describes the expected structure and type of the JSON content. The schema should match the structure of the JSON string to be parsed. This is a required field.

**Outputs**

* **Content**: The parsed JSON content, structured according to the specified schema. If the JSON string does not match the schema, an error is generated.

**Usage** 

Ideal for processing and manipulating JSON data retrieved from APIs, webhooks, or other sources, allowing for the extraction and use of specific data elements within automations.
