Copy the javascript source code and save it as a file and include it as a class library in your server-side script’s deployment.

Here is a sample usage in user event suitescript:

function onBeforeLoad(type, form, request)
{
	if(type == "edit")
	{
		var transaction = new Object();
		transaction.countryCode = "PH";
		transaction.shipItem = "PS3";
		var test = JSON.stringify(transaction);
		nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'json: ', test);
	}
}

As a result, you would have a JSON format values in this format:

"{"countryCode":"PH","shipItem":"PS3"}"
