Convert JS object to JSON string

I have a JSON object in JS, and I would like to convert it to string. Is it a function for this?

Thanks in advance,

If you have JSON, it already is a string. – Apr 22 '12 at 15:56 — , Apr 22 '12 at 15:56
no, it is an object, like this: `{"foo":"bar"}` – Danny Fox Apr 22 '12 at 15:56 — Danny Fox, Apr 22 '12 at 15:56
Then it's not JSON, it's an object. – Guffa Apr 22 '12 at 15:57 — Guffa, Apr 22 '12 at 15:57

Convert a value to JSON, optionally replacing values if a replacer function is specified, or optionally including only the specified properties if a replacer array is specified.

You can use the JSON stringify method.

JSON.stringify({x: 5, y: 6}); // '{"x":5,"y":6}' or '{"y":6,"x":5}'

There is pretty good support for this across the board when it comes to browsers, as shown on http://caniuse.com/#search=JSON. You will note, however, that versions of IE earlier than 8 do not support this functionality natively.

If you wish to cater to those users as well you will need a shim. Douglas Crockford has provided his own JSON Parser on github.

+1 for showing that there are different possible results. – Apr 22 '12 at 15:59

@amnotiam Objects, unlike arrays, have no particular order of properties. Good eye ;) – Sampson Apr 22 '12 at 16:00
