# toString()

Converts the JavaScript value to a native string.

## Declaration

```swift
func toString() -> String!
```

## Return Value

Return Value The string representation of the value.

## Discussion

Discussion This method uses JavaScript type coercion rules to convert the value to a JavaScript string, then creates a native string from the result. Thus, this method can return a string even when the isString property is false; for example, an empty object becomes the string "[object Object]".
