JSON.html

The static global JSON class provides encoding and decoding functions for JSON strings. Encode a variable into a valid JSON string using <font face="monospace">JSON.encode(variable)</font> or <font face="monospace">JSON.encode_pretty(variable)</font>. Decode a valid JSON string into a variable using <font face="monospace">JSON.decode(json_string)</font>.
 
<strong>NOTE:</strong> JSON encoding and decoding will not work with <a href="http://berserk-games.com/knowledgebase/object">Object</a> references.
