			<return type="JSONParseResult" />
			<argument index="0" name="json" type="String" />
			<description>
				Parses a JSON-encoded string and returns a [JSONParseResult] containing the result.

			<return type="String" />
			<argument index="0" name="value" type="Variant" />
			<argument index="1" name="indent" type="String" default="&quot;&quot;" />
			<argument index="2" name="sort_keys" type="bool" default="false" />
			<description>
				Converts a [Variant] var to JSON text and returns the result. Useful for serializing data to store or send over the network.
				[b]Note:[/b] The JSON specification does not define integer or float types, but only a [i]number[/i] type. Therefore, converting a Variant to JSON text will convert all numerical values to [float] types.
				The [code]indent[/code] parameter controls if and how something is indented, the string used for this parameter will be used where there should be an indent in the output, even spaces like [code]"   "[/code] will work. [code]\t[/code] and [code]\n[/code] can also be used for a tab indent, or to make a newline for each indent respectively.
				[b]Example output:[/b]
