`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

json: A JSON object/array or atomic value
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]
