Using the built-in parseJSON() function

How To
1

Make offers a built-in parseJSON() function that converts JSON strings into collections/arrays, as detailed in the IML functions article from Make’s developer documentation.

Since Make has already developed this function, how can we use it in our scenarios? Should we use {{parseJSON()}}, {{iml.parseJSON()}}, or {{JSON.parse()}}?

If parseJSON() cannot be used outside custom apps, it seems almost intentional — leaving parseJSON() and createJSON() as the only two built-in IML functions unavailable in scenarios.

This raises the question: Is this limitation intentional to encourage the use of Parse JSON modules that consume operations?

Hopefully, this isn’t a deliberate limitation. There must be a way to leverage the parseJSON() function in scenarios. If anyone from Make can demonstrate the correct usage, it would be like giving our scenarios superpowers.
