The in.Variable Value field in workflow JSON is a Python expression. Runavelo parses the JSON and inserts this expression directly into the generated Python source. For example:

[
  {
    "ins": "Set Variable",
    "in": {
      "Variable Type": "'Map'",
      "Variable Value": "{'Name': 'John Doe', 'Age': 25, 'City': 'New York'}",
      "Global Variable": "False"
    },

      "Variable Name": "userInfo"
    }
  },
  {
    "ins": "Map Loop",
    "in": {
      "Map": "userInfo"
    },
    "out": {
      "Key": "key",
