Msg.payload assumption

Lets say I receive data:

{
"temperature":18,
"humidity":60,
"payload":"test"
}

Now I cannot access both the temperature and humidity at the same time using the switch node (perhaps with JSONata)

Indeed you can use an expression in your switch node, and compare the results to match a set of output ports -- something like this, for instance, to detect some dewpoint condifion:

The switch then sends the payload to port 1 if true, or port 2 if the condition is false:

And there is no reason why the expression could not return many "levels" of output (e.g. quartiles) that match up to multiple output ports -- much like a big "case" statement, but cooler!

Thanks, I am aware. I am mostly referring to the "new" has key option in the switch node, which makes it possible to 'route' by the key name.
