Shaping data with JSONata
4 min read · Updated June 2026
Data rarely arrives in the exact shape the next step wants. JSONata is the small, expressive language that reshapes it between steps on the canvas.
What you can do
- Rename and restructure fields.
- Combine values — concatenate a name, compute a total.
- Filter arrays down to the records that matter.
- Map one platform's shape onto another's.
Or ask AVA. If you would rather not write the expression, describe the transformation you want and AVA can produce the JSONata for you.
