Syntax:
toJSON data
Parameters:
data: can be one of:
  • HashMap: JSON object
  • Array: JSON array

  • String: JSON string
  • Boolean: JSON bool (true/false, not 1/0)

["this","is","an","array"]
Example 2:
private _hashMap = createHashMap; _hashMap set ["bKey", true]; _hashMap set ["sKey", "Hello there"]; _hashMap set ["oKey", player]; _hashMap set ["nKey", 42]; _hashMap set ["hKey", ["key1", "key2", "yolo"] createHashMapFromArray ["General Kenobi", true, "Hello it's me"]]; toJSON _hashMap;

result:

{"bKey":true,"sKey":"Hello there","oKey":null,"nkey":42,hKey:{"key1":"General Kenobi","key2":true,"yolo":"Hello it's me"}}
Example 4:
private _jsonPlayer = toJSON player; // empty string - Object is not supported
