jquery - Convert Object to JSON string

Question

jQuery.parseJSON('{"name":"John"}') converts string representation to object but I want 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 has a native method 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 serializes a Javascript object into a string. jQuery does not have functionality of its own for that, you have to use the browser built-in version or json2.js from http://www.json.org

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