				Converts a [Variant] var to JSON text and returns the result. Useful for serializing data to store or send over the network.
				[b]Note:[/b] The JSON specification does not define integer or float types, but only a [i]number[/i] type. Therefore, converting a Variant to JSON text will convert all numerical values to [float] types.
				Use [code]indent[/code] parameter to pretty print the output.
				[b]Example output:[/b]

				## JSON.print(my_dictionary)
				{"name":"my_dictionary","version":"1.0.0","entities":[{"name":"entity_0","value":"value_0"},{"name":"entity_1","value":"value_1"}]}

				## JSON.print(my_dictionary, "\t")
				{
