arrayToJSON on lc server

[Mike Kerner]

the externalfunctions doesn't seem to be returning anything for a project i
just opened (never tested it, before). that project has a lot of
standalone inclusions, some of which have external functions, so i don't
know if it means externals that are directly attached to the stack (like
old xcmd's/xfcn's).
grasping at straws, because i'm not deploying to lc server on linux
* i assume you manually included mergjson in your standalone (assuming
you're building your project). if not, try that.
* have you tried embedding the source from the
mergJSONLibrary.livecodescript into your main stack and then stepping
through the code? it's available in the oss repo or any of the forks of
that repo. that's just the library, not the mergjsonencode external, but it
might get you closer.
* if that doesn't work, there are at least two other oss lc json codebases,
the most popular being mark smith's, which, i think, is what monte used
when he wrote mergjson.
