# Dynamic JSON / XML Payloads

Welcome to our dynamic JSON feature documentation. We provide a way to create dynamic JSON using templating. In this guide, we'll discuss how you can use this feature to craft your test cases in a more flexible and dynamic manner.

### Available Functions

We have several functions registered for use in your templates. These helpers provide powerful functionality for conditionally formatting your JSON data. Here is the list of available helpers:

- **ifEq:** This helper checks if two arguments are equal and executes the template if true.
- **ifGreaterThan:** This helper checks if the first argument is greater than the second argument.
- **ifLessThan:** This helper checks if the first argument is less than the second argument.
- **ifNotEqualTo:**This helper checks if two arguments are not equal.
- **ifGreaterThanOrEqualTo:** This helper checks if the first argument is greater than or equal to the second argument.
- **ifLessThanOrEqualTo:** This helper checks if the first argument is less than or equal to the second argument.
- **range:** This helper will iterate over a range of integers from the first argument to the second argument.

### How to use the Functions

Here is a brief guide on how to use these helpers in your JSON templates:

#### Equals

This helper checks if two arguments are equal and executes the template if true.

```json
{
  "tags": [
    {
      {{#ifEq "[Value1]" "[Value2]"}}
        "result": "Values are equal"
      {{else}}
        "result": "Values are not equal"
      {{/ifEq}}   
    }
  ]
}
```

#### Greater Than

This helper checks if the first argument is greater than the second argument:

```json
{
  "tags": [
    {
      {{#ifGreaterThan "[Value1]" "[Value2]"}}
        "result": "Value1 is greater than Value2"
      {{else}}
        "result": "Value1 is not greater than Value2"
      {{/ifGreaterThan}}   
    }
  ]
}
```

#### Less Than

This helper checks if the first argument is less than the second argument:

```json
{
  "tags": [
    {
      {{#ifLessThan "[Value1]" "[Value2]"}}
        "result": "Value1 is less than Value2"
      {{else}}
        "result": "Value1 is not less than Value2"
      {{/ifLessThan}}   
    }
  ]
}
```

#### Not Equal To

This helper checks if two arguments are not equal:

```json
{
  "tags": [
    {
      {{#ifNotEqualTo "[Value1]" "[Value2]"}}
        "result": "Value1 is not equal to Value2"
      {{else}}
        "result": "Value1 is equal to Value2"
      {{/ifNotEqualTo}}   
    }
  ]
}
```

#### Greater Than or Equal To

This helper checks if the first argument is greater than or equal to the second argument:

```json
{
  "tags": [
    {
      {{#ifGreaterThanOrEqualTo "[Value1]" "[Value2]"}}
        "result": "Value1 is greater than or equal to Value2"
      {{else}}
        "result": "Value1 is less than Value2"
      {{/ifGreaterThanOrEqualTo}}   
    }
  ]
}
```

#### Less Than or Equal To

This helper checks if the first argument is less than or equal to the second argument:

```json
{
  "tags": [
    {
      {{#ifLessThanOrEqualTo "[Value1]" "[Value2]"}}
        "result": "Value1 is less than or equal to Value2"
      {{else}}
        "result": "Value1 is greater than Value2"
      {{/ifLessThanOrEqualTo}}   
    }
  ]
}
```

#### Range

This helper will iterate over a range of integers from the first argument to the second argument:

```json
{
  "numbers": [
    {{#range 1 5}}
    {
      "number": {{this}}
    },
    {{/range}}
  ]
}
```

Please note: For the examples above, replace '[Value1]' and '[Value2]' with the actual values you want to compare. If these are variables within your context, ensure they are referenced correctly.
