v1.json() parses an InfluxDB 1.x JSON result into a stream of tables.

Function type signature
(?file: string, ?json: string) => stream[A] where A: Record

For more information, see Function type signatures.

Parameters

json

InfluxDB 1.x query results in JSON format.

json and file are mutually exclusive.

file

File path to file containing InfluxDB 1.x query results in JSON format.

The path can be absolute or relative. If relative, it is relative to the working directory of the fluxd process. The JSON file must exist in the same file system running the fluxd process. Note: InfluxDB OSS and InfluxDB Cloud do not support the file parameter. Neither allow access to the underlying filesystem.

Examples

import "influxdata/influxdb/v1"  jsonData =  "{  \"results\": [  {  \"statement_id\": 0,  \"series\": [  {  \"name\": \"cpu_load_short\",  \"columns\": [  \"time\",  \"value\"  ],  \"values\": [  [  \"2021-01-01T00:00:00.000000000Z\",  2  ],  [  \"2021-01-01T00:01:00.000000000Z\",  0.55  ],  [  \"2021-01-01T00:02:00.000000000Z\",  0.64  ]  ]  }  ]  }  ] }"  v1.json(json: jsonData)

InfluxDB Docker latest tag changing to InfluxDB 3 Core

On November 3, 2025, the latest tag for InfluxDB Docker images will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments.

If using Docker to install and run InfluxDB, the latest tag will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments. For example, if using Docker to run InfluxDB v2, replace the latest version tag with a specific version tag in your Docker pull command–for example:

docker pull influxdb:2
