What do you mean, edit a JSON file? From a website that is returned from HTTP service, or literally edit a file that is a JSON file?

From a website that is returned from HTTP service

Well the JSON is returned as a dictionary usually, so if you want to edit it, just create a copy of the table or edit it directly.

Im just trying to make a discord webhook bot dont know where editing a json file came up in my mind

#6

I’m guessing that if you want to edit a json file then open it up with notepad

#7

Discord webhooks, and pretty much any other form of data transfer using internet uses JSON.

What you have to do to edit the JSON is use HttpService and :JSONDecode and :JSONEncode.

That will transform JSON to/from a lua dictionary. Then edit it as a regular roblox dictionary

I already know that im just thinking of how to make the webhook bot send a message

#9

Like @AvionicScript said, you have to either use :JSONEncode or :JSONDecode. You use decode if you already have a json file and want to transform it to lua. You use encode if you want to transform lua into a json file.

You are probably talking about UPDATE that is used to change json file but I think Roblox don’t have that feature yet (I hope it will come as soon as possible)
