Syntax
toJson(<any struct, array or primitive type> [, convertEmptyFields, writeNull])
...
| Excerpt |
|---|
Converts any given struct, array or primitive parameter to a JSON string. By default, the JSON resulted from the conversion also contains the empty fields (in the case of structures for example) with null values. If you want these to be excepted from the conversion, you will have to set the convertEmptyFields flag to false. |

Example
You can look at this routine as the preparatory one for the integration with other systems. You build your data structure first and then convert your struct to json to be sent to an external system.
