Converting the javascript object to json object

Question

I am creating a object of logMessage.

logMessage = function (msg, severity, vendorId, userName, actionPerformed, priority, traceId, dataSent) {
    this.message = msg;
    this.severity = severity;
    this.vendorId = vendorId;
    this.userName = userName;
    this.actionPerformed = actionPerformed;
    this.priority = priority;
    this.traceId = traceId;
    this.dataSent = dataSent;
};

var msg = new logMessage(err, "High", "none", qry.username, "Error on login call: /req/login", "high", "", qry);
Utility.writeToLoggly(msg);

err ,qry are json objects; How do I convert the the msg object to json object ? I am sending the msg object to loggly for the log management. It would be great if I could send the correctly formated json object to loggly .

NB: by convention JS "classes" start with an upper case letter. — Alnitak, Nov 05 '14 at 21:58
p.s. Googling for "javascript json output" trivially produces several pages with the correct answer. — Alnitak, Nov 05 '14 at 22:04
BTW: there is no such thing as a JSON *object*. JSON is a string. — Matt Burland, Nov 05 '14 at 22:06

you can use the JSON.stringify() function, so just add to your code:

Utility.writeToLoggly(JSON.stringify(msg));
