Convert Object to JSON string

Question

jQuery.parseJSON('{"name":"John"}') converts string representation to object but i wnat the reverse. Object is to be converted to JSON string i got a link http://www.devcurry.com/2010/03/convert-javascript-object-to-json.html but it need to have json2.js do jQuery have a native methode to do this?

Answer 1

jQuery does only make some regexp checking before calling the native browser method window.JSON.parse(). If that is not available, it uses eval() or more exactly new Function() to create a Javascript object.

The opposite of JSON.parse() is JSON.stringify() which kind of "deserializes" a Javascript object into a string. jQuery does not have an own functionality for that, you have to use the browser build-in version or json2.js from http://www.json.org

JSON.stringify() is available in all major browsers, anyway to be compatible with older browsers you still need that fallback.

Hello,

you can write your own toString() function easily.

To loop into a JSON Object you can use :

w = {'a': 'b', 'c': 'd'}

$.each(w, function(key, value) { console.log(key + ": " + value); })
