title: import Azure Devops pipeline variables from json file
body: <p>I want to use json file to store variables used by powershell script. In azure devops I have configured pipeline, pipeline contains powershell script with a list of variables in it. I would like to use json file and store in this file all variables. I want to store json file in Azure repo, and use it once pipeline is started. I dont want to use variable groups. I found this solution [<strong>Json to Variable</strong>]<a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=OneLuckiDev.json2variable&amp;targetId=02fbae5c-cc01-4c8b-a90f-7393a3156347" rel="noreferrer">https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=OneLuckiDev.json2variable&amp;targetId=02fbae5c-cc01-4c8b-a90f-7393a3156347</a> but I read some uncomplimentary opinions about this task. Is there any method to use json file as a place to store variables, or maybe I can use different file format?
