[%CFEngine_function_prototype(json_data)%]

Description: Parses JSON data directly from an inlined string and returns the result as a data variable

[%CFEngine_function_attributes(json_data)%]

Please note that because JSON uses double quotes, it’s usually most convenient to use single quotes for the string (CFEngine allows both types of quotes around a string).

Example:

```cf3 vars:

  "loadthis"

     data =>  parsejson('{ "key": "value" }'); ```
