I’d like to initialize a json structure with channel entries. For the most part it seems to work fine, except for the last entry where you can’t have a comma ending it. It should look something like:

table = [
{"key": "one"},
{"key": "two"},
{"key": "three"}
];

So I tried this code:

table = [
{exp:channel:entries channel="mychannel" }
    {"key": "{value}"}{if count!=total_results},{/if}
    {/exp:channel:entries}
];

{value} is from mychannel. The first part of this works fine. The problem is with the conditional. It just prints out the conditional statement rather than evaluating it. So I get something like this for each of the entries:

{"key": "two"}{if "2"!= "3"},{/if}

Can I get this to work or is there some other way?

Thanks!

Hey cbad—

Hmm… I’m not sure why that conditional isn’t being rendered, but I looked around to see how others in the community are outputting channel entries as JSON and found this post. Wouter uses PHP to accomplish the task and Rob Sanchez wrote a nice little plugin to do the job.

Do either one of those work for you?
