Examples

Create object, add content and pick value:

Let(
[
      j = MBS( "JSON.CreateObject");
      j = MBS( "JSON.AddStringToObject"; j; "hello"; "world" );
      r = MBS( "JSON.GetObjectItem"; j; "hello" )
];
r)

Example result: "world"

Build nested objects:

Set Variable [$j1; MBS( "JSON.CreateObject") ]
Set Variable [$j2; MBS( "JSON.AddStringToObject"; $j1; "name"; "" ) ]
Set Variable [$j3; MBS( "JSON.AddStringToObject"; $j2; "record_type"; "MX" ) ]
Display Dialog ["JSON"; $j3]
Set Variable [$j4; MBS( "JSON.CreateObject") ]
Set Variable [$j5; MBS( "JSON.AddItemToObject"; $j4; "record"; $j3 ) ]
Display Dialog ["JSON"; $j4]

Add two entries in one call:

MBS( "JSON.AddStringToObject"; "{}"; "hello"; "world"; "test"; "entry")

Example result:
{
  "hello":   "world",
  "test":   "entry"
}

Adds string to object:

MBS( "JSON.AddStringToObject"; "{}"; "test"; "Hello World" )

Example result:
{
  "test":   "Hello World"
}
