Convert JS object to JSON string

With JSON.stringify() found in json2.js or native in most modern browsers.

   JSON.stringify(value, replacer, space)
        value       any JavaScript value, usually an object or array.

       replacer    an optional parameter that determines how object
                    values are stringified for objects. It can be a
                    function or an array of strings.

       space       an optional parameter that specifies the indentation
                    of nested structures. If it is omitted, the text will
                    be packed without extra whitespace. If it is a number,
                    it will specify the number of spaces to indent at each
                    level. If it is a string (such as '\t' or ' '),
                    it contains the characters used to indent at each level.

       This method produces a JSON text from a JavaScript value.

• JSON stringify revisited

Update May 17, 2008: Small sanitizer added to the toObject-method. Now toObject() will not eval() the string if it finds any malicious code in it.For even more security: Don't set the includeFunctions flag to true.

Douglas Crockford, father of the JSON concept, wrote one of the first stringifiers for JavaScript. Later Steve Yen at Trim Path wrote a nice improved version which I have used for some time. It's my changes to Steve's version that I'd like to share with you. Basically they stemmed from my wish to make the stringifier:

• handle and restore cyclical references  
• include the JavaScript code for functions/methods (as an option)  
• exclude object members from Object.prototype if needed.

Json Stringify can convert your js object to json

 var x = {"name" : "name1"};
 JSON.stringify(x);

JSON.stringify({"key":"value"});

If you're using AngularJS, the 'json' filter should do it:

<span>{{someObject | json}}</span>

You can use JSON.stringify() method to convert JSON object to String.

var j={"name":"binchen"};
JSON.stringify(j)

For reverse process, you can use JSON.parse() method to convert JSON String to JSON Object.

In angularJS

angular.toJson(obj, pretty);

obj: Input to be serialized into JSON.

pretty(optional):
If set to true, the JSON output will contain newlines and whitespace. If set to an integer, the JSON output will contain that many spaces per indentation.

(default: 2)

I was having issues with stringify running out of memory and other solutions didnt seem to work (at least I couldn't get them to work) which is when I stumbled on this thread. Thanks to Rohit Kumar I just iterate through my very large JSON object to stop it from crashing

var j = MyObject;
var myObjectStringify = "{\"MyObject\":[";
var last = j.length
var count = 0;
for (x in j) {
    MyObjectStringify += JSON.stringify(j[x]);
    count++;
    if (count < last)
        MyObjectStringify += ",";
}
MyObjectStringify += "]}";

MyObjectStringify would give you your string representaion (just as mentioned other times in this thread) except if you have a large object, this should also work - just make sure you build it to fit your needs - I needed it to have a name than array

One custom defined for this , until we do strange from stringify method

var j={"name":"binchen","class":"awesome"};
var dq='"';
var json="{";
var last=Object.keys(j).length;
var count=0;
for(x in j)
{
json += dq+x+dq+":"+dq+j[x]+dq;
count++;
if(count<last)
   json +=",";
}
json+="}";
document.write(json);

OUTPUT

{"name":"binchen","class":"awesome"}

LIVE http://jsfiddle.net/mailmerohit5/y78zum6v/

var someObj = { "name" : "some name" };
var someObjStr = JSON.stringify(someObj);
console.log( someObjStr  );

you can use native stringify function like this

const j={ "name": "binchen" }

/** convert json to string */
const jsonString = JSON.stringify(j)

console.log(jsonString) // {"name":"binchen"}

JSON.stringify(j,null,4) would give you beautified JSON in case you need beautification also

Woking... Easy to use

$("form").submit(function(evt){
  evt.preventDefault();
  var formData = $("form").serializeArray(); // Create array of object
  var jsonConvert = JSON.stringify(formData);  // Convert to json
});

Thanks

Just Copy and pase

$("form").submit(function(evt){
  evt.preventDefault();
  var formData = $("form").serializeArray(); // Create array of object
  var jsonConvertedData = JSON.stringify(formData);  // Convert to json
});

if you want to get json properties value in string format use the following way

var i = {"x":1}

var j = JSON.stringify(i.x);

var k = JSON.stringify(i);

console.log(j);

"1"

console.log(k);

'{"x":1}'
