This week’s SmythOS release is short and targeted. The team identified and fixed an issue with the JSON Filter component that was causing downstream failures in certain workflows. When a component promises valid JSON, it needs to deliver valid JSON every time.
Bug Fixes
JSON Filter Outputs Invalid JSON in Some Scenarios
The JSON Filter component was occasionally returning malformed JSON instead of the properly formatted output it’s supposed to produce. This happened regardless of what filter configuration you were using. The problem showed up unpredictably, which made it particularly frustrating to troubleshoot.
When downstream components received this broken output, things fell apart. Anything expecting structured JSON data would fail or behave in unexpected ways, cascading errors through the rest of your workflow. The component now consistently returns valid, well-formatted JSON as intended.
How this helps you
- Trust that JSON Filter output is always properly formatted.
- Run workflows without mysterious failures from malformed data.
- Build reliably on top of JSON Filter without defensive error handling for bad output.
Try These Updates
- Test any workflows that use the JSON Filter component to confirm consistent output.
- Check previously failing automations that depend on structured JSON data.
- Remove any workarounds you added to handle malformed JSON Filter output.
You can find deeper guidance and examples in the official SmythOS documentation if you want to explore this fix in more detail.
