Is there a JavaScript function to serialize and unserialize arrays like PHP?

Question

I'm making a PHP model to store a serialized array in a database. The array is then accessed via AJAX through an HTTP request.

Is there a JavaScript function to serialize and unserialize arrays like PHP?

EDIT: This is the php function http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php

Answer 1

You meant “serialize”? jQuery’s $.ajax & $.json methods would automatically serialize JavaScript objects for you, and in modern browsers you can use JSON.stringify directly.
