action.yml

# This composite action is used to send JSON data to a specified URL using curl.
# It requires three input parameters:
# URL: The URL where the JSON will be sent
# TOKEN: The bearer authorization token for the API
# JSON: The JSON data that will be sent to the URL
#
# The action first validates the JSON input using the jq command to ensure it is in the proper format.
# If the JSON input is not valid, the action will exit with an error code and fail.
# If the JSON input is valid, the action will send the data to the specified URL using curl, and output the response.
