JSON

Summary

JSON is a native API for parsing and serialising information to the JSON format.

JSON contains two methods: parse for parsing JSON strings, and stringify for converting a JavaScript object into JSON.

No properties.

No events.

Convert a JavaScript object to a string.

var js_object = {
    type: "This is a Javascript Object."
};

var json_string = JSON.stringify(js_object);

Parse a JSON string to a JavaScript object.

var json_string = '{type:"This is a JSON Object."}';
var js_object = JSON.parse(json_string);
alert(js_object.type);

Browsers without JSON support can be polyfilled using third party JavaScript libraries.
