+### JSON Functions
+
+Build JSON payloads programmatically without manual quoting or escaping. `json_Object` is the ergonomic shortcut for flat objects; `json_Encode` marshals any value (slice, map, etc.) to a JSON string.
+
+| Function                    | Description                                                                                            | Example                                               |
+| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| `json_Object(pairs ...any)` | Build an object from interleaved key-value pairs and return it as a JSON string. Keys must be strings. | `{{ json_Object "name" "Alice" "age" 30 }}`           |
+| `json_Encode(v any)`        | Marshal any value (slice, map, etc.) to a JSON string.                                                 | `{{ json_Encode (slice_Str "a" "b") }}` → `["a","b"]` |
+
+**Examples:**
+
+```yaml
+# Flat object with fake data
+body: '{{ json_Object "name" (fakeit_FirstName) "email" (fakeit_Email) }}'
+
+# Embed a solved captcha token
+body: '{{ json_Object "g-recaptcha-response" (twocaptcha_RecaptchaV2 "API_KEY" "SITE_KEY" "https://example.com") }}'
+
+# Encode a slice as a JSON array
+body: '{{ json_Encode (slice_Str "a" "b" "c") }}'
+
+# Encode a string dictionary (map[string]string)
+body: '{{ json_Encode (dict_Str "key1" "value1" "key2" "value2") }}'
+```
+
+> **Note:** Object keys are serialized in alphabetical order (Go's `encoding/json` default), not insertion order. For API payloads this is almost always fine because JSON key order is semantically irrelevant.
+
