JSON

The JSON object is a single object that contains two functions, parse and stringify, that are used to parse and construct JSON texts. The JSON Data Interchange Format is described in RFC 4627 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt>.

Operations
static any
parse(string json)
The parse function parses a JSON text (a JSON-formatted String) and produces an ECMAScript value. The JSON format is a restricted form of ECMAScript literal. JSON objects are realized as ECMAScript objects. JSON arrays are realized as ECMAScript arrays.
static string
stringify(any value, optional any replacer, optional any space)
The stringify function returns a String in JSON format representing an ECMAScript value. It can take three parameters. The first parameter is required. The value parameter is an ECMAScript value, which is usually an object or array, although it can also be a String, Boolean, Number or null.
