SQL query as string in JSON file - sql

Question

It is possible to store SQL query in JSON array of objects?? Because when i have something like this:
[{
"id": "1",
"query": "SELECT ID FROM table"
},
{
"id": "2",
"query": "SELECT ID FROM table"
},
{
"id": "3",
"query": "SELECT USER FROM table"
}
]
JSON file in VSCode is ok no error it is getting nasty when i want to store complex queries with joins etc.
for example this query even if i format it correctly it will generate error in JSON file about formatting
(just example i not it is not valid)
SELECT user, id, , count(price) as numrev
FROM price
where id = 1 and user = 0
group by user, id, price
that it can't be stored in string

It is bit easy to do, but requires on extra step.
Simply convert/encode you raw SQL queries in base64 text.
Decode the text before you execute the queries in you code.
If the JSON file is created automatically by a program/code
All most all programming languages proved base64 encode / decode functions as part of the core if not download compatible package / library to achieve this automation
var queries = [{
"id": "1",
"query": "U0VMRUNUIElEIEZST00gdGFibGU="
},
{
"id": "2",
"query": "U0VMRUNUIElEIEZST00gdGFibGU="
},
{
"id": "3",
"query": "U0VMRUNUIFVTRVIgRlJPTSB0YWJsZQ=="
},
{
"id": "4",
"query": "U0VMRUNUIHVzZXIsIGlkLCAsIGNvdW50KHByaWNlKSBhcyBudW1yZXYKICBGUk9NIHByaWNlCiAgd2hlcmUgaWQgPSAxIGFuZCB1c2VyID0gMCAKICBncm91cCBieSB1c2VyLCBpZCwgcHJpY2U="
}
];
for (i = 0; i < queries.length; i++) {
console.log("id = " + queries[i].id + ", query = " + atob(queries[i].query));
}
when you parse you JSON array make sure to decode before you execute the SQL queries.
