Complex Data Example

Note that complex objects will not automatically be converted to String, as with System.out.println in Java.

// Create data
data = {
    "title"  : "A Game of Thrones",
    "author" : "George R. R. Martin",
    "ISBN"   : "0-00-224584-1"
};

// Print data
echo(data.toString());

Expected Result: {ISBN={0-00-224584-1}, author={George R. R. Martin}, title={A Game of Thrones}}
