createrawtransaction - if I input the script, it says that there is invalid syntax.

Then you should use the correct syntax for your createrawtransaction JSON.

Thank you for the links, but that's not exactly what I wanted. Let's say I have the transaction from { to }, already signed and all that. I want the form to completely take my json text and convert it to hex like  paste ->hex. These all make me fill in blanks and create the json text for me. createrawtransaction - if I input the script, it says that there is invalid syntax.

I wanted to ask, why is there no tool to convert json format of transaction into hex? Why not? Is it that difficult to implement?
For example, I want to edit my transaction by hand, instead of going through it from some program step by step.
There is a decode hex to json on blockchain, why is there no tool to reverse this process? I'm a bit new to bitcoin, so please don't be mad if I'm asking a stupid question, I was just curious.

There is.

It's built into Bitcoin Core.

The command is called "createrawtransaction".

It takes JSON data as input, and it generates a raw hex transaction.
