Array Stringify node

Inputs

Port	Type	Default
ArrayThe list to turn into readable text. Any array stream works — numbers, strings, booleans, colours and points all get printed; an empty list prints as empty.	any	—
FormatHow the text is laid out: List puts one indexed element per line, Compact separates them with commas, JSON wraps them in brackets. Values outside the list fall back to List.	int	`0`
PrecisionDecimal places shown for numeric elements. Clamped to 0…10; 0 prints whole numbers, integers and text ignore it.	int	`2`
Max LinesCaps how many elements are printed, with a count of the rest appended. 0 or less prints the whole list; useful for keeping long streams readable on screen.	int	`0`

Outputs

Port	Type
Text	string
Count	int

How It Works

Array Stringify converts an array to a human-readable string using the selected Format:

0 — Comma: 1.23, 4.56, 7.89
1 — Lines: One element per line.
2 — Indexed: [0] 1.23, [1] 4.56, etc.
3 — JSON: Valid JSON array format.
4 — Inline: Compact summary with count: [3] 1.23, 4.56, 7.89

Precision controls decimal places for float values. Max Lines limits output length (0 = no limit) — useful for large arrays where you only need to see the first N elements.

Use Cases

Debug display: Connect to a UI Text node to show array contents live on the output viewport.
Data export: Use JSON format to generate valid JSON arrays for TCP/OSC transmission.
Logging: Use indexed format to identify specific element positions when troubleshooting.

Tips

Set Max Lines to a small number (e.g., 10) for large arrays to keep the display manageable.
JSON format is useful when the array needs to be sent over TCP or parsed by external software.
Precision 0 shows integers, Precision 2 shows two decimal places — adjust based on your data.
