Convert employee data from JSON object format to string

In this example, a JSON object contains the name, date of joining, and the salary of an employee. The JSON object is created by using the SetProperties component. To convert the JSON object to string, we use the SerializeObject component. After you run the automation, point the mouse device over the Return Data Out port of the SerializeObject component. The component displays the data as a string.
