Convert an array to a JSON string
I need to convert an array with an unknown number of indices to a JSON string for transmission (which is why it isn't possible to iterate through it using $ORDER). Does ObjectScript provide functionality to convert an array to a JSON string?
Edit 1: As Joel mentioned, the array is subscripted and has an arbitrary structure like:
a(1)="a" a(3,4)="b" a(3,6)="c" a(5,6,7)="d"
which needs to be converted to
{"1":"a", "3":{"4":"b","6":"c"}, "5":{"6":{"7":"d"}}}
I had considered using a combination of $Query (to traverse the array) and $Order (to retrieve property names) but was wondering if a utility method already exists.
