class method Object.toJSON
Object.toJSON(object) → String
-
object
(Object
) – The object to be serialized.
Returns a JSON string.
undefined
and function
types have no JSON representation. boolean
and null
are coerced to strings.
For other types, Object.toJSON
looks for a toJSON
method on object
.
If there is one, it is used; otherwise the object is treated like a
generic Object
.

Example
var data = {name: 'Violet', occupation: 'character', age: 25, pets: ['frog', 'rabbit']};
Object.toJSON(data);
//-> '{"name": "Violet", "occupation": "character", "age": 25, "pets": ["frog","rabbit"]}'
