Deprecated Step (v8.20+)
The JSON to Dynamic step appears and functions in upgraded environments where it was previously used, but is no longer available in fresh installations. Users can utilize the JSON Deserialize step as an alternative.
The JSON to Dynamic step converts a string of JSON data into its respective dynamic object. The step accomplishes this by taking JSON via the JSON Input, which takes JSON in String format. The step outputs the data into its converted object and provides an additional path should the step encounter an error in conversion. The output will be something called an ExpandoObject, which is simply an object that can be dynamically changed during run time. This means that users can add, delete, and get values for aspects of the Instance.
