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.
