JavaScript convert JavaScript object to JSON object-CodePudding

What is the shortest method to convert a JavaScript object to a JSON object? The beneath is my JavaScript object.

{
  "body": [
    {
        "id": "1",
        "action": "alert",
      "activityGroupNames": "test2"
    },
    {
        "id": "2",
        "action": "alert",
        "activityGroupNames": "test3"
    },
    {
        "id": "3",
        "action": "alert",
        "activityGroupNames": "test2"
    }
  ]
}

I making use of an inline code script in Microsoft automate that performs the following in JavaScript:

var threat = workflowContext.actions.Compose.outputs;
var value = Object.values(threat);
return value;

I am supposed to HTTP POST a JSON object in an API request, however, I am submitting a JavaScript object type and am unsure as to how I can change this. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please let me know if you require any further context.

Edit: The HTTP POST request is failing due to "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Javascript provides with built-in method JSON.stringify() It will help you to convert JavaScript object into JSON and pass through HTTP Request

console.log(JSON.stringify({ x: 5, y: 6 }));

// expected output: "{"x":5,"y":6}"

A common use of JSON is to exchange data to/from a web server. When receiving data from a web server, the data is always a string. Parse the data with JSON.parse(), and the data becomes a JavaScript object.

const json = '{ "fruit": "pineapple", "fingers": 10 }';
const obj = JSON.parse(json);
console.log(obj.fruit, obj.fingers);
