<p>The functions you evaluate can return values. If the returned value is of a
primitive type, it gets automatically converted by Puppeteer to a primitive type
in the script context like in the previous example.</p>
<p>If the script returns an object, Puppeteer serializes it to a JSON and reconstructs it on the script side. This process might not always yield correct results, for example, when you return a DOM node:</p>
