    lr_save_string (json_input, "JSON_Input"); 
    lr_eval_json ("Buffer={JSON_Input}", "JsonObject=JSON_Param");
    
    //compact
    lr_json_stringify("JsonObject=JSON_Param","Format=compact","OutputParam=Result",LAST );
    lr_output_message("Compact JSON is : %s", lr_eval_string("{Result}"));
    
    //indented
    lr_json_stringify("JsonObject=JSON_Param","Format=indented","OutputParam=Result",LAST );
    lr_output_message("Indented JSON is : %s", lr_eval_string("{Result}"));
    
    //auto
    lr_json_stringify("JsonObject=JSON_Param","Format=auto","OutputParam=Result",LAST );
    // Result is indented in VuGen and Compact on the Controller.

Action.c(25): Indented JSON is : {
    "cart": {
        "customerId": 1343,
        "lineItems": [
