toJson

Converts a .NET object to a JSON string. Uses the Newtonsoft Json.NET serializer, which, unlike JSON.stringify, can serialize self-references.

Syntax

function toJson(object: any): string
 
Parameter Description
object .NET object you wish to serialize in JSON format.

Return Value

Returns a JSON string describing the object.

Examples

In this example:

  • We create an object called customer.
  • We populate the FirstName, LastName, and Birthday properties.
  • We serialize the object's contents in a string called message.
  • We display the message on screen. For details on how to display messages, see ftos.context.response.setMessage.
customer = new Object();
customer.FirstName = "Jonathan";
customer.LastName = "Doe";
customer.Birthday = Date(2020, 01, 20);

message = toJson(customer);
ftos.context.response.setMessage(message);
