I need to serialize a MouseEvent to JSON but:

canvas.addEventListener('mousedown', function (e) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(e))
});

prints only the first element of the event:

{"isTrusted": true}

I expected it to convert the whole MouseEvent to JSON including stuff like offsetX, offsetY.

I already tried limiting JSON stringification depth and removing circular structures with dojox.json.ref, JSON-js, this, this and a few other ways. I figured circular structures were probably not the issue.

I currently work around it using this approach but there must be a better way.
