N/util Module

Use the N/util module to manually access methods that verify object and primitive types in a SuiteScript 2.x script. These methods can also be accessed using the global util object. For more information about the global util object, see SuiteScript 2.x Global Objects.

Use the N/util module to access methods that verify object and primitive types in a SuiteScript 2.0 script.

Each method (for example, util.isArray(obj)) returns a boolean value, based on evaluation of the obj parameter.

If you need to identify a type specific to SuiteScript 2.0, use the toString() global method.
