The text variable is empty because object property names are case sensitive.
Try “someText” for the name instead of “sometext”.
Picture object properties only store a reference to the picture, hence the
“[object Picture]” property value. JSON Stringify command does not encode
picture properties, you have to do that. You can write a wrapper method for
JSON Stringify and JSON Parse to handle this situation if you need to do this
often.
