UDataTableFunctionLibrary::ExportDataTableToJSONFile

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/DataTableFunctionLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintCallable

Description

Writes the contents of a Data Table to a JSON file on disk, encoded as UTF-8. Editor-only — used for editor tooling and data export pipelines.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Only compiles with WITH_EDITOR — not available in packaged builds.
• Overwrites JSONFilePath unconditionally if it already exists; there is no confirmation or backup.
• The output file path must be writable from the editor process — paths inside a Perforce/Git-controlled Content folder may need to be checked out first if source control enforces read-only files.
