json-stringify()

string json-stringify(OXN json, bool pretty = false())

Serializes a JSON (OXN) object or an atomic value (string, number, boolean) into JSON text.

The compact (unpretty) form (default) is useful for logging as it contains no line breaks.

Parameters

• pretty: A boolean indicating compact or pretty formatting

Examples

• json-stringify(true()) → true

• json-stringify(42) → 42

• json-stringify("foo") → "foo"

• json-stringify($data) → {"foo":"bar"}

• json-stringify($data, true()) →

  {
    "foo": "bar"`
  }

• json-stringify(json-parse('[1, 2]')) → [1, 2]
