SuiteScript 2.1 Restlet Responses
Hello,
While testing SuiteScript 2.1 Restlets I faced some strange behavior.
In GET requests to several of my scripts I return a stringified JSON object.
If the script is run under 2.0 the response I receive from the script is string, and if the script is run under 2.1 I receive an object.
Example: Response from 2.0
Example: Response from 2.1
The code I use in the script is simply : return JSON.stringify({foo: 'bar'});
I read about that in the documentation (Help topic: "Differences Between SuiteScript 2.0 and SuiteScript 2.1") and from what I understand 2.1 Restlets shall return objects instead of strings but the provided examples there return directly JSON objects without stringifying them. In the above example that would be: return {foo: 'bar'};
