STRING - Cast

Converts an atomic value to their string representation

Details

If jsonify is false, only atomic values will be stringified. If it is enabled, also Object and Array values can be stringified. With jsonify enabled, the string representation of floating point numbers can be different, as the JSON backend handles them differently from the normal stringify backend.

Input parameters

Name	Type	Optional	Description
x	Any	False	Value to convert
jsonify	Bool	True	Converts the values into valid JSON strings, if true. (Default: false)

Output

String: The string representation of the value

Usage

STRING(<x>, (<jsonify>))
