# Unpacked JSON

# Overview

The **Unpack JSON Configuration** tool allows you to convert and view the underlying Jinja-templated configurations of a dynamic operator as static JSON. This process simplifies the inspection of complex configurations within your data pipeline.

## How to Access

To unpack a configuration, follow these steps:

1. **Locate the Tool:** Click the **Unpack JSON Configuration** option found in the **lower-left corner** of the Pipeline Builder page.
2. **Select the Operator:** Once active, dynamic operators on your canvas will be highlighted. Click on a specific **highlighted operator** to display its JSON configuration.

> **Requirements for Success:**
> 
> - **Upstream Health:** All preceding operators in the pipeline must be valid and error-free.
> - **Jinja Integrity:** The operator must contain valid Jinja syntax (though the resulting JSON doesn't need to be valid yet).

# Feature Benefits

- **Transparency:** Easily audit the logic inside dynamic operators.
- **Troubleshooting:** Quickly identify issues in how Jinja templates are being rendered.
- **Efficiency:** Simplifies the translation of dynamic variables into readable JSON formats for verification.

#### **Summary**

The Unpack JSON feature provides a bridge between dynamic Jinja code and static JSON inspection. By selecting the tool from the bottom-left menu and clicking a highlighted operator, you can instantly verify your configuration logic, provided all upstream errors are resolved first.
