Serialize javascript object to json and back

Question

I am using to a jQuery post method to send some data to a server. Rather than constructing the JSON string myself, I would like to simply use a JavaScript object. When I get the return string (in JSON) I would like to automatically construct a corresponding JavaScript object.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

Checkout JSON.stringify() and JSON.parse() in JSON2 documentation

Example:

myData = JSON.parse(text); // from json string to js object

var myJSONText = JSON.stringify(myObject, replacer); // js object to json string
