azure logic app compose action

In Azure logic apps I am creating a Json body in compose action. JSON structure is like below I am passing place property value as an variable i.e. variables('result'):

{
   "place": [
                {  "visit":"name"
                     },
               {    "visit":"name"
                     }
            ]
}

In compose action how to get the above structure as i could not get the exact array like structure. I've tried a lot of things, but the result is like below:

{
       "place": "[
                    {  "visit":"name"
                         },
                   {    "visit":"name"
                         }
                ]"
 }

Double quotes are getting appended in the variable in compose action. If I pass as an array in compose means got like below double quotes is there in every element of array. I don't want doubles quotes inside array elements and I want the value as a variable in compose action's property:

{
           "place": [
                        "{  "visit":"name"
                             }",
                       "{    "visit":"name"
                             }"
                    ]
        }
 }

Please let me know hot to get the exact structure.

I'm assuming your result variable is of type array and contains the following value (you can check this in your run history):

[
    "{\"visit\":\"London\"}",
    "{\"visit\":\"Paris\"}"
]

Note that I created my result variable using an expression - createArray('{"visit":"London"}','{"visit":"Paris"}')

You can add a For each that takes the result variable as its input.

Within the For each you can include a Parse JSON action that takes Current item as the Content. You will need to provide the schema of your array objects also.

{ "type": "object", "properties": { "visit": { "type": "string" } } }

Outside of the For each loop you can then create a Compose action. The code view for the Compose action looks like this.

{
    "inputs": {
        "place": "@actionBody('Parse_JSON')"
    }
}

The output from this is the following:

{
    "place": [
        {
            "visit": "London"
        },
        {
            "visit": "Paris"
        }
    ]
}
