UDataTableFunctionLibrary::ExportDataTableToJSONString

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/DataTableFunctionLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintCallable

Description

Serializes the contents of a Data Table to a JSON-formatted string in memory. Editor-only — useful for editor tooling that needs the data without writing to disk.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Only compiles with WITH_EDITOR — not available in packaged builds.
• The JSON shape mirrors the row struct's UPROPERTY layout, so custom PostSerialize logic or non-UPROPERTY fields on the row struct are not reflected in the export.
• For large tables, prefer ExportDataTableToJSONFile to avoid holding the entire serialized export in a single FString.
