JSON- Scoped

The JSON script include provides scoped methods to create JSON objects from a string, and to turn JSON objects into strings.

For scoped applications, the JSON API uses static methods that call the JavaScript ES5 native JSON object.

Note: Use the global keyword with JSON method calls in scoped scripts, for example, global.JSON.stringify(). Not using the global keyword could result in an error message, such as ScopedRhinoObjectWrapper: not a wrappable type: com.glide.script.FieldGlideDescriptor.
