# JSON Escape Action

The JSON Escape Action node can be used to escape a given JSON payload.

You can input the payload manually as plain text, or by using the wildcards [{node.result.}](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/v4.9.0/helmut4-components/streamdesigner/wildcards/result-or-return-wildcards-2/node-result) or [{stream.last\_result}](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/v4.9.0/helmut4-components/streamdesigner/wildcards/result-or-return-wildcards-2/stream-last_result).

Alternatively, the payload can be read from a JSON file in storage using the wildcard [{file.content.?}](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/v4.9.0/helmut4-components/streamdesigner/wildcards/file-related-wildcards-5/file-content).

Please ensure that the input JSON payload is valid.
