text: ## JSON
  
  The _JSON_ object provides the c++ versions of the methods offered by the `JSON` object in javascript. V8 exposes these methods via the `v8::JSON` object.

  Refer to the V8 JSON object in the [V8 documentation](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-7.4/da/d6f/classv8_1_1_j_s_o_n.html) for more information about these methods and their arguments.

  ### Nan::JSON.Parse
  
  A simple wrapper around [`v8::JSON::Parse`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-7.4/da/d6f/classv8_1_1_j_s_o_n.html#a936310d2540fb630ed37d3ee3ffe4504).
  
  Definition:
  
  ```c++
  Nan::MaybeLocal<v8::Value> Nan::JSON::Parse(v8::Local<v8::String> json_string);
  ```
  
  Use `JSON.Parse(json_string)` to parse a string into a `v8::Value`.
  
  Example:
  
  ```c++
  v8::Local<v8::String> json_string = Nan::New("{ \"JSON\": \"object\" }").ToLocalChecked();
  
  Nan::JSON NanJSON;
  Nan::MaybeLocal<v8::Value> result = NanJSON.Parse(json_string);
  if (!result.IsEmpty()) {
    v8::Local<v8::Value> val = result.ToLocalChecked();
  }
  ```

  ### Nan::JSON.Stringify
  
  A simple wrapper around [`v8::JSON::Stringify`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-7.4/da/d6f/classv8_1_1_j_s_o_n.html#a44b255c3531489ce43f6110209138860).
  
  Definition:
  
  ```c++
  Nan::MaybeLocal<v8::String> Nan::JSON::Stringify(v8::Local<v8::Object> json_object, v8::Local<v8::String> gap = v8::Local<v8::String>());
  ```
  
  Use `JSON.Stringify(value)` to stringify a `v8::Object`.
  
  Example:
  
  ```c++
  // using `v8::Local<v8::Value> val` from the `JSON::Parse` example
  v8::Local<v8::Object> obj = Nan::To<v8::Object>(val).ToLocalChecked();
  
  Nan::JSON NanJSON;
  Nan::MaybeLocal<v8::String> result = NanJSON.Stringify(obj);
  if (!result.IsEmpty()) {
    v8::Local<v8::String> stringified = result.ToLocalChecked();
  }
  ```
