I want to convert a object mixed with Backbone.Events into Json, but if I use JSON.stringify(), I get a error : "TypeError: cyclic object value".

My code : 

var object_event = _.extend({
                       attr1: 'value1',
                       attr2: 'value2',
}, Backbone.Events);

var view = new Backbone.View();

view.listenTo(object_event, 'anEvent', function () {
    JSON.stringify(object_event);
});

object_event.trigger('anEvent');
//the error occured

I saw in here : Serializing object that contains cyclic object value, that using the second parameter of JSON.stringify like it is describe is not useable on event objects.

    Why? If it’s for logging purposes, just use `console.log` and don’t bother stringifying, for example. – Ry- Jul 29 '14 at 18:20
  • It's to fetch a collection passing the json as a data – Niconix Jul 29 '14 at 19:05
  • Put the data you need into a new object literal, then. `JSON.stringify({ attr1: object_event.attr1, … })` – Ry- Jul 29 '14 at 19:07
  • It's working yes, thanks. I also found a few minutes ago this solution : JSON.stringify(object_event, [attr1, attr2]) – Niconix Jul 29 '14 at 19:15
