                <li>If the input is a JSON string it tries to parse it to a JavaScript object.</li>
                <li>If the input is a JavaScript object it creates a JSON string. The string can optionally be well-formatted.</li>

    </dl>
    <h3>Details</h3>
    <p>By default, the node operates on <code>msg.payload</code>, but can be configured
       to convert any message property.</p>
    <p>The node can also be configured to ensure a particular encoding instead of toggling
       between the two. This can be used, for example, with the <code>HTTP In</code>
       node to ensure the payload is a parsed object even if an incoming request
       did not set its content-type correctly for the HTTP In node to do the conversion.</p>
    <p>If the node is configured to ensure the property is encoded as a String and it
       receives a String, no further checks will be made of the property. It will
       not check the String is valid JSON nor will it reformat it if the format option
       is selected.</p>
