ansible.builtin.jsonfile cache – JSON formatted files.

Note

This cache plugin is part of ansible-core and included in all Ansible installations. In most cases, you can use the short plugin name jsonfile even without specifying the collections: keyword. However, we recommend you use the FQCN for easy linking to the plugin documentation and to avoid conflicting with other collections that may have the same cache plugin name.
