json | Allows you to convert a JavaScript object into JSON string.

limitTo | Creates a new array or string containing only a specified number of elements. The elements are taken from either the beginning or the end of the source array, string or number, as specified by the value and sign (positive or negative) of `limit`. If a number is used as input, it is converted to a string.
orderBy | Orders a specified `array` by the `expression` predicate. It is ordered alphabetically for strings and numerically for numbers. Note: if you notice numbers are not being sorted as expected, make sure they are actually being saved as numbers and not strings.
