Converting an object to a string

javascript, object, serialization, string, tostring

Solution

I would recommend using `JSON.stringify`, which converts the set of the variables in the object to a JSON string.

var obj = {
  name: 'myObj'
};

JSON.stringify(obj);

Most modern browsers support this method natively, but for those that don't, you can include a JS version.

Problem

How can I convert a JavaScript object into a string? Example: ``` var o = {a:1, b:2} console.log(o) console.log('Item: ' + o) ``` Output: Object { a=1, b=2} // very nice readable output :) Item: [object Object] // no idea what's inside :(
