JSON.stringify()
The JSON.stringify()
method converts a JavaScript object or value to a JSON string, optionally replacing values if a replacer function is specified or optionally including only the specified properties if a replacer array is specified.
console.log(JSON.stringify({ x: 5, y: 6 }));
// expected output: "{"x":5,"y":6}"
console.log(JSON.stringify([new Number(3), new String('false'), new Boolean(false)]));
// expected output: "[3,"false",false]"
console.log(JSON.stringify({ x: [10, undefined, function(){}, Symbol('')] }));
// expected output: "{"x":[10,null,null,null]}"
console.log(JSON.stringify(new Date(2006, 0, 2, 15, 4, 5)));
// expected output: ""2006-01-02T15:04:05.000Z""
Another examples:
JSON.stringify({}); // '{}'
JSON.stringify(true); // 'true'
JSON.stringify('foo'); // '"foo"'
JSON.stringify([1, 'false', false]); // '[1,"false",false]'
JSON.stringify([NaN, null, Infinity]); // '[null,null,null]'
JSON.stringify({ x: 5 }); // '{"x":5}'
JSON.stringify(new Date(2006, 0, 2, 15, 4, 5))
// '"2006-01-02T15:04:05.000Z"'
JSON.stringify({ x: 5, y: 6 });
// '{"x":5,"y":6}'
JSON.stringify([new Number(3), new String('false'), new Boolean(false)]);
// '[3,"false",false]'
// String-keyed array elements are not enumerable and make no sense in JSON
let a = ['foo', 'bar'];
a['baz'] = 'quux'; // a: [ 0: 'foo', 1: 'bar', baz: 'quux' ]
JSON.stringify(a);
// '["foo","bar"]'
