Code Samples

This code sample turns a Lua table tab into a JSON string using HttpService’s JSONEncode. Then, it prints out the string. Note that after the table is set, the sample creates a cyclic reference in the table by putting a reference to the table within itself. This is to demonstrate how the JSON encoder handles cyclic references.
