JSONGenerator and JSONParser do not work

I am trying to generate and parse JSON, but JSONGenerator and JSONParser do not seem to work. Execution stops without any errors.

for example, run the following code in the console:
 
List<Contact> contacts = [SELECT Id, Name FROM Contact LIMIT 10]; 
System.debug(1);
JSONGenerator generator = JSON.createGenerator(true);
System.debug(2);
generator.writeStartObject();
generator.writeNumberField('count', contacts.size())
generator.writeEndObject();
String jsonString = generator.getAsString();
System.debug(jsonString);
All I get is USER_DEBUG [14]|DEBUG|1. There are no errors in the output. Same happens when I try to use JSONParser.

HI David,
Try this. Should work
List<Contact> contacts = [SELECT Id, Name FROM Contact LIMIT 10]; 
System.debug(1);
JSONGenerator generator = JSON.createGenerator(true);
System.debug(2);
generator.writeStartObject();
generator.writeNumberField('count', contacts.size());
generator.writeEndObject();
String jsonString = generator.getAsString();
System.debug('jsonString: '+jsonString);

Thanks, but I'm getting the same thing: USER_DEBUG [14]|DEBUG|1 And then execution just stops.

Is there a package I need to install or something like that? JSON is a part of System namespace, so I expect it to be avaialable by default.
Magesh Mani YadavMagesh Mani Yadav
Yes it available by default.
Did you really try the code which I shared because in your code you were missing some syntax.
David Lee 8David Lee 8
Yes, I pasted the whole thing.
Magesh Mani YadavMagesh Mani Yadav
can you share that console code again?
David Lee 8David Lee 8
I just noticed that my debug levels were messed up, that's why the messages did not show up. Thanks for your help!
