We are currently passing a string attribute via the REST API that contains JSON.

{ "User_List": "[{\"name\":\"john doe\", \"email\":\"[email protected]\"}, {\"name\":\"jane doe\", \"email\":\"[email protected]\"}]" }

We then use server side JavaScript to parse the attribute string value into JSON.

<script runat=server>
  
  Platform.Load("Core","1");

  var userList    = Platform.Recipient.GetAttributeValue("User_List");
  var userListObj = Platform.Function.ParseJSON(userList);

</script> 

We then later use that JSON to build a dynamic list from the JSON data.

<p>
  <script runat=server>
    Write("<ul>");
  
    for (var i = 0; i < userListObj.length; i++) {
      Write("<li>" + userListObj[i].name + ", " + userListObj[i].email + "</li>");
    }

    Write("</ul>");
  </script> 
</p>

My question is, is there a way to do this via AMPscript? I couldn't find anything about parsing a string into JSON via AMPscript.
