Why not use jQuery with an object, or the [`JSON`](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/558518/how-to-serialise-on-object-to-json-in-javascript) package? — h2ooooooo, Mar 04 '13 at 09:40

Use JSON.stringify() to generate your JSON string. It will automatically escape any character, where this is needed.

var jsonString = JSON.stringify( Data );

Please use JSON.stringify():

var jsonString = JSON.stringify({
  'name': Data.name,
  'surname': Data.surname,
  'address': Data.add
});

Please note that @Sirko provided very similar answer. Please use his if you want to serialize all fields from 'Data' object. If not, use mine.

Why would you create a json string like that in JavaScript? JSON or "JavaScript Object Notation". You can create an object and make it a JSON string with the built-in methods.

var data = {
  name: Data.name,
  surname: Data.surname,
  ...
};

var json = JSON.stringify(data);

Try this:

var jsonString ="{ ";
jsonString += "name:" + '"'+Data.name + '",';
jsonString += "surname:"+ '"'+ Data.surname + '",';
jsonString += "Address: " + '"'+ Data.add + '"';
jsonString += "}";

or you can use JSON.stringify() from: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify

You forgot to escape the quotes. – Subir Kumar Sao Mar 04 '13 at 09:42
