Re: [ansible-project] Re: Prevent ansible from re-ordering JSON?

[Brian Coca]

To 'keep it a string'  content: "{{ my_var|string }}" , from_json
actually forces conversion (which would be happening anyways)

Hey Kai,

The thing is that is not a *dictionary* but *string*, pay attention to the
"|" after my_var:

my_var: |
  {
"b": 1
"a": 2
  }

So the question is still the same, why string is unordered in Ansible?

Thanks,
Eddie Mashayev
