# JSON to Tuple and Tuple to JSON Operator Sample

## About This Sample

The sample application illustrate the use of the JSON to Tuple and Tuple to JSON operators. In this sample, the operator takes an input tuple and produces a JSON string, it then takes that string and produces a tuple. The sample is set up with a schema to try out various data types converting from tuples to JSON strings and back.

See the description of the operators' Properties views in Using the JSON to Tuple Operator and Using the Tuple to JSON Operator.
