You can use String:split() to split the function on (“\n”):

local List = Data:split("\n")
trace(List)

By Using trace() function, we can click on the List in the annotations and see the following:

This string is split into a Lua table with individual lines as list you can now begin to process. This is great... but with Iguana, we’ve made it a little easier to efficiently parse and process JSON.

local patient = json.parse{data=Data}

JSON objects are parsed into Lua tables as dictionaries with key-value pairs. You can see this clearly in the Annotation Window.
