jsonUtils.toObject() fails with NullPointer or EcmaError/TypeError

I try to use jsonUtils.toObject with a json string or a json object as parameter in the javascript console in Alfresco Enterprise 4.1.5, and getting the following errors.<blockquote><strong>Reference:</strong>http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.enterprise.d

write like this


var jsonString = '{"test": "test"}';
 jsonUtils.toObject(jsonString) ;
‍‍‍‍

jsonUtils will convert it correctly, but you can't pass the return result to logger.log(),logger.log only accept string parameter.
so


logger.log( jsonUtils.toObject(jsonString) );
‍‍‍

will not work ,but

 var jsonString = '{"test": "test"}';
 jsonUtils.toObject(jsonString) ;‍‍

will work

or you can use double quote mark format string


var jsonString  = "{\"lastName\":\"zhang\",\"location\":\"N.A\",\"firstName\":\"kayne\"}";
    jsonUtils.toObject(jsonString);
‍‍‍‍

you can't use json object directly like below


var jsonString = {'test': 'test'};
jsonUtils.toObject(jsonString); 
‍‍‍‍

, It 'll throw null pointer exception
