When working with Azure DevOps pipelines, there are situations where you need to use JSON as a variable — whether it’s for dynamically passing configurations, triggering APIs, or embedding JSON data into scripts. A common use case is creating a pipeline that triggers an API requiring a JSON payload.

However, Azure DevOps treats all variables as plain strings, and when you attempt to pass JSON, it often results in malformed data due to improper escaping. This can break APIs or other components expecting valid JSON.
