title: Using Output Helpers
url: /docs/iac/concepts/inputs-outputs/helpers/
---
Pulumi's SDKs include helper functions designed for the most common output manipulation tasks: constructing strings from output values and working with JSON. These helpers wrap [`apply`](/docs/concepts/inputs-outputs/apply/) and [`all`](/docs/concepts/inputs-outputs/all/) internally, but expose a more concise interface that closely mirrors each language's native string and JSON facilities.

Use a helper when you need to build a string from one or more outputs or serialize a data structure that contains outputs to JSON. Use `apply` or `all` directly when the transformation you need is more complex than a simple string or JSON operation.

## String interpolation

Pulumi's string interpolation helpers let you construct a string from one or more output values without calling `apply` or `all` explicitly. The helpers work for both a single output and multiple outputs, so they serve as a convenient shorthand regardless of how many values you are combining.

const bucket = new aws.s3.Bucket("bucket");

const file = new aws.s3.BucketObject("bucket-object", {
    bucket: bucket.id,
    key: "some-file.txt",
    content: "some-content",
});

// concat takes a list of args and concatenates all of them into a single output:
export const s3Url1: pulumi.Output<string> = pulumi.concat("s3://", bucket.bucket, "/", file.key);

// interpolate takes a JavaScript template literal and expands outputs correctly:
export const s3Url2: pulumi.Output<string> = pulumi.interpolate`s3://${bucket.bucket}/${file.key}`;

<!-- chooser: language -->
<!-- option: typescript -->

TypeScript and JavaScript provide two string helpers:

- **`pulumi.interpolate`** — A tagged template literal that accepts Pulumi outputs directly inside `${}` expressions. It is the most idiomatic option in TypeScript and handles any number of values.
- **`pulumi.concat()`** — Concatenates a list of strings and outputs into a single `Output<string>`. Useful when you are building a string from a dynamic list of values rather than a fixed template.

For more details, see the [Node.js SDK documentation](/docs/reference/pkg/nodejs/pulumi/pulumi/).

<!-- /option -->

<!-- option: python -->

Python provides two string helpers:

- **`pulumi.Output.format()`** — Works like Python's `str.format()`, accepting a format string with positional or keyword placeholders. This is the most idiomatic option for Python programs.
- **`pulumi.Output.concat()`** — Concatenates a list of strings and outputs into a single `Output[str]`.

For more details, see the [Python SDK documentation](/docs/reference/pkg/python/pulumi/).

<!-- /option -->

<!-- option: go -->

Go provides:

- **`pulumi.Sprintf()`** — Works like Go's `fmt.Sprintf()`, accepting a format string and a variadic list of arguments that may be plain values or Pulumi outputs. Returns a `pulumi.StringOutput`.

For more details, see the [Go SDK documentation](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi).

<!-- /option -->

<!-- option: csharp -->

.NET provides:

- **`Output.Format()`** — Works like C#'s interpolated string syntax. Pass a C# interpolated string containing `Output<T>` values, and `Output.Format` returns a single `Output<string>`.

For more details, see the [.NET SDK documentation](/docs/reference/pkg/dotnet/pulumi/pulumi.output.html).

<!-- /option -->

<!-- option: java -->

Java provides:

- **`Output.format()`** — Works like Java's `String.format()`, accepting a format string with `%s` placeholders and a list of arguments that may be plain values or Pulumi outputs. Returns an `Output<String>`.

For more details, see the [Java SDK documentation](/docs/reference/pkg/java/).

<!-- /option -->

<!-- option: yaml -->

Pulumi YAML supports string interpolation natively. Use `${...}` syntax directly within any string value to reference resource outputs or variables:

```yaml
outputs:
  s3Url: s3://${bucket.id}/${bucketObject.key}
```

For more details, see the [YAML language reference](/docs/iac/languages-sdks/yaml/yaml-language-reference/#expressions).

## JSON helpers

Many cloud resources accept JSON strings as inputs — IAM policies, Lambda function configurations, S3 bucket policies, and others. Pulumi's JSON helpers let you work with data structures that contain outputs without needing to call `apply` manually to extract the underlying values.

### Converting outputs to JSON strings

If you need to produce a JSON string from a data structure that contains one or more output values, use one of the JSON stringify helpers. These helpers accept a mix of plain values and Pulumi outputs, serialize the entire structure to JSON, and return an `Output<string>` suitable for passing to another resource as an input.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";

// Create an S3 bucket.
const bucket = new aws.s3.Bucket("my-bucket");

// Create an S3 bucket policy allowing anyone in the account to list the contents of the bucket.
const policy = new aws.s3.BucketPolicy("my-bucket-policy", {
    bucket: bucket.id,
    policy: pulumi.jsonStringify({
        Version: "2012-10-17",
        Statement: [{
                Effect: "Allow",
                Principal: {
                    AWS: pulumi.interpolate`arn:aws:iam::${accountID}:root`,
                },

- **`pulumi.jsonParse()`** — Accepts an `Output<string>` and returns an `Output` of the parsed value. Equivalent in behavior to `JSON.parse()`.

For more details, see the [Node.js SDK documentation](/docs/reference/pkg/nodejs/pulumi/pulumi/functions/jsonParse.html).

<!-- /option -->

<!-- option: python -->

- **`pulumi.Output.json_loads()`** — Accepts an `Output[str]` and returns a deserialized output. Equivalent in behavior to `json.loads()`.

For more details, see the [Python SDK documentation](/docs/reference/pkg/python/pulumi/#pulumi.Output.json_loads).

<!-- /option -->

<!-- option: go -->

Go does not have a dedicated JSON parse helper. Use `ApplyT` with `json.Unmarshal` to parse a JSON string output into a Go struct or map.

For more details, see the [Go SDK documentation](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi).

<!-- /option -->

<!-- option: csharp -->

- **`Output.JsonDeserialize<T>()`** — Accepts an `Output<string>` containing JSON and returns an `Output<T>` of the deserialized value using `System.Text.Json`.

For more details, see the [.NET SDK documentation](/docs/reference/pkg/dotnet/pulumi/pulumi.output.html).

<!-- /option -->

<!-- option: java -->

Java does not provide a dedicated JSON parse helper. Use `apply` with a JSON library such as Jackson or Gson to deserialize JSON string outputs into Java objects manually.

<!-- /option -->

<!-- option: yaml -->

Pulumi YAML does not provide a function for parsing JSON strings into objects.
