Function
| Arg | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
| item | The item to encode | Any (required) |
| format | Encoding format (csv,json,yaml,hex,base64) | string |
Encode an object as a string.
Several serialization formats are supported. The default format, if format is not specified, is “json”.
This function is often useful when you need to pass a data structure to an
artifact parameter when the parameter expects a specific format. For
example,
SELECT * FROM Artifact.Linux.Search.FileFinder(SearchFilesGlobTable=serialize(format="csv",item=tlist),...)
will pass a list in CSV format to the artifact’s SearchFilesGlobTable parameter.
