How to convert clipboard page to JSON format to send as a response to the service ?
Using getJSON method, I am getting pxObjClass as well converted to JSON format .I don't want that .Without pxObjClass getting added in the file ,Is there any other methods available to convert clipboard to JSON format. ?

Even this RUF would add pxObjClass as it uses the same underlying API to convert clipboard page to JSON.
Mamatha, in what context do you need clipboard page to JSON conversion? Are you using REST service/connector?

yes I am using REST Service -I want to pass few properties as input to Connect REST in JSON Format .
I have value in JSONresponse page .Using getJSON I convert that to JSON format .But it is having pxObjClass as well .Since the service will not understand the pxObjclass .I want to elimate that .

Have you tried using Map from as JSON and Map from key as your response page property on the Connect/Service REST rule? With this, the generated JSON wouldn't contain pxObjClass.

create a java step in activity with the following code and share your observations, Thank you!
PublicAPI tools = (PegaAPI) ThreadContainer.get().getPublicAPI();
ClipboardPage stepPage = tools.getStepPage();
String returnValue = stepPage.getJSON(false);
RequestResponse = returnValue;

Sahu,
Thank you for the code snippet. So if I have a Data-Class Customer with properties FirstName and LastName, and I have a Page for Customer on my clipboard, can I expect your code to spit out the following:
{ "FirstName" : "Tom", "LastName" : "Hanks" }
I would expect nothing less from the library function. The problem is if getJSON() is also streaming internal/base class properties into the JSON, which clearly is not intended. Ideally one should be able to define a Data-class, instantiate it, populate it, and then stream it out into JSON without side effects.
Really appreciate if you can confirm/clarify.
