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"}}}

   try{
        ....
        ....
        ....

        Set tSC = method_invocation()

        If $$$ISERR(tSC) {
            Quit tSC
        }

        ....
        ....
        ....

}

On compiling the above, I get an error saying "QUIT argument not allowed : 'tSC' ".

• When I replace Quit tSC with Return tSC, it compiles
• On replacing Quit tSC with Quit $$$OK, I get the error: QUIT argument not allowed : '1'
• On replacing Quit tSC with Quit, it compiles
• A 'Quit tSC' statement outside of the try-catch block does not cause a compile-time error.

I need to convert a JSON payload to a custom object type. Currently, I'm converting the JSON object to a %Library.DynamicObject object and need to proceed from here.

As of now, these are my options

                 1. Using an external library talked about in this link:

Downside: Could be buggy (as admitted by the creator) + some other design concerns brought up in its the discussion thread
