Name

JSObject.toString() Java Method---return the string value of a JavaScript object

Synopsis

public String toString()

Returns

The string returned by invoking the toString() method of the JavaScript object represented by the specified Java JSObject.

Description

The toString() method of the Java JSObject class invokes the JavaScript toString() method of the JavaScript object represented by a JSObject and returns the result of that method.

Because the Java toString() method of a JSObject simply invokes the JavaScript toString() method of the JavaScript object represented by that JSObject, Java is guaranteed to convert any JSObject to a string in the same way that JavaScript does.
