A couple functions, I didn't know where to put, but definitely wanted for my Modjs implementation, so they went onto the global object. If I can think of a better place for them, they may move. This page can also list all the classes I've added and that are available and whatnot.

Used to convert an object to a JSON compliant string and back again:

string = jsonEncode(object)
object = jsonDecode(string)

These could throw exceptions if the object or string cannot be converted or is otherwise malformed:

JsonCodingException

The global objects I've added are these:

  • server: Controls the environment, logging, and general low-level write back to the server, etc.
  • request: The incoming HTTP Request from apache through Modjs. This is the prime HTTPRequest.
  • response: The outgoing HTTP Response from this script back to the client through apache and Modjs. This is the prime HTTPResponse.

Constructors on the global object now:
