  • Artikel

Applies to: SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance

Constructs JSON object text from zero or more expressions.

Syntax

JSON_OBJECT ( [ <json_key_value> [,...n] ] [ json_null_clause ] )

<json_key_value> ::= json_key_name : value_expression

<json_null_clause> ::=
      NULL ON NULL
    | ABSENT ON NULL

Arguments

json_key_name

Is a character expression that defines the value of the JSON key name.

value_expression Is an expression that defines the value of the JSON key.

json_null_clause

Can be used to control the behavior of JSON_OBJECT function when value_expression is NULL. The option NULL ON NULL converts the SQL NULL value into a JSON null value when generating the JSON key value. The option ABSENT ON NULL will omit the entire key if the value is NULL. The default setting for this option is NULL ON NULL.

Return value

Returns a valid JSON object string of nvarchar(max) type.
