How to convert a json object to a string in a alert box? [closed]

Question

I want to debug my response (json) and have it displaying as a string in a alert box. Are there any convenient thing to do?

var myjson = { Name : "Marko" }; 

alert(myjson.toString()); // ? [Object] !!! 

Answer 1

you can use the following on your success response:

alert(JSON.stringify(data));

Answer 2

The most convenient way, would be using the console of your browser.

console.log(json);

In most browsers you get a very clearly view of the json contents.

Alternativly you could make a string with a for-loop:

var output = '';
for (var entry in json) {
  output += 'key: ' + entry + ' | value: ' + json[entry] + '\n';
}
alert(output);

But this is not recursively. Here is a working demonstration: http://jsfiddle.net/n695V/

Answer 3

You can use JSON.stringify. However, I don't know if it works in all common browsers.

alert(JSON.stringify(json-object));
