Converting an object to a string

Question

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 :(

Answer 1

I would recommend using JSON.stringify, which converts the set of the variables in the object to a JSON string. Most modern browsers support this method natively, but for those that don't, you can include a JS version:

var obj = {   name: 'myObj' };  JSON.stringify(obj); 

Answer 2

Use javascript String() function

 String(yourobject); //returns [object Object] 

or stringify()

JSON.stringify(yourobject)
