Ansible: json filtering

ill have a role playbook which get json from gitlab

---
- name: Make an API call
  uri:
    method: GET
    url: "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/***/repository/files/Dev/raw?ref=master"
    headers:
      PRIVATE-TOKEN: **************
  register: json_var

- name: show json
  debug:
    msg: "{{json_var}}"

- name: test
  debug:
    var: json_var.json.plannedrelease
  register: release

- name: debug
  debug:
    msg: "{{ release }}"

but cant get json value to variable, i need only version "1.0" in variable release (from "plannedrelease" : "1.0"), how can i filter it?

Playbook output is:

}

probably i used wrong method for filtering

Have you tried https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/set_fact_module.html ? Reading the documentation the following might work:

- name: Save release var
  set_fact:
    release: "{{ json_var.json.plannedrelease }}"
