How can I serialize an object in Javascript, then deserialize it in asp.net?

Question

I have a custom Javascript object that has a few string and float members. I'd like to serialize an array of them in Javascript, assign the result to a hidden field, and then retrieve and deserialize them in the codebehind for my asp.net application.

Is there a standard way to do this?

I clarified my question because it wasn't clear before that I want to serialize to JSON in javascript — NibblyPig, Oct 01 '10 at 09:14

You can Use JSON.

With JSON you serialize data and serialize it in Different language.

So is there a native serializer in javascript to serialize to JSON? I want to avoid more plugins where possible, especially dlls for .net – NibblyPig Oct 01 '10 at 08:56
JSON IS javascript. it stands for JavaScript Object Notation. In asp.net you might need a dll. – Stefanvds Oct 01 '10 at 09:03

Check this answer How do I serialize a C# anonymous type to a JSON string?

Edit:
Since JavaScriptSerializer is deprecated .. you can use DataContractJsonSerializer. MSDN: DataContractJsonSerializer Blog post on how to use it: http://pietschsoft.com/post/2008/02/NET-35-JSON-Serialization-using-the-DataContractJsonSerializer.aspx
