The following filters will take a data structure in a template and render it in a slightly different format. These
|
|
|
|
|
are occasionally useful for debugging::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{ some_variable | to_json }}
|
|
|
|
|
{{ some_variable | to_yaml }}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For human readable output, you can use::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{ some_variable | to_nice_json }}
|
|
|
|
|
{{ some_variable | to_nice_yaml }}

{{ some_variable | from_json }}
|
|
|
|
|
{{ some_variable | from_yaml }}
