20 This file creates a global JSON object containing two methods: stringify
23 JSON.stringify(value, replacer, space)
24 value any JavaScript value, usually an object or array.
26 replacer an optional parameter that determines how object
27 values are stringified for objects. It can be a
28 function or an array of strings.
30 space an optional parameter that specifies the indentation
31 of nested structures. If it is omitted, the text will
32 be packed without extra whitespace. If it is a number,
33 it will specify the number of spaces to indent at each
34 level. If it is a string (such as '\t' or ' '),
35 it contains the characters used to indent at each level.
37 This method produces a JSON text from a JavaScript value.
39 When an object value is found, if the object contains a toJSON
40 method, its toJSON method will be called and the result will be
41 stringified. A toJSON method does not serialize: it returns the
42 value represented by the name/value pair that should be serialized,
43 or undefined if nothing should be serialized. The toJSON method
44 will be passed the key associated with the value, and this will be
47 For example, this would serialize Dates as ISO strings.
49 Date.prototype.toJSON = function (key) {
51 // Format integers to have at least two digits.
52 return n < 10 ? '0' + n : n;
55 return this.getUTCFullYear() + '-' +
56 f(this.getUTCMonth() + 1) + '-' +
57 f(this.getUTCDate()) + 'T' +
58 f(this.getUTCHours()) + ':' +
59 f(this.getUTCMinutes()) + ':' +
60 f(this.getUTCSeconds()) + 'Z';
63 You can provide an optional replacer method. It will be passed the
64 key and value of each member, with this bound to the containing
65 object. The value that is returned from your method will be
66 serialized. If your method returns undefined, then the member will
67 be excluded from the serialization.
69 If the replacer parameter is an array of strings, then it will be
70 used to select the members to be serialized. It filters the results
71 such that only members with keys listed in the replacer array are
74 Values that do not have JSON representations, such as undefined or
75 functions, will not be serialized. Such values in objects will be
76 dropped; in arrays they will be replaced with null. You can use
77 a replacer function to replace those with JSON values.
78 JSON.stringify(undefined) returns undefined.
80 The optional space parameter produces a stringification of the
81 value that is filled with line breaks and indentation to make it
84 If the space parameter is a non-empty string, then that string will
85 be used for indentation. If the space parameter is a number, then
86 the indentation will be that many spaces.
90 text = JSON.stringify(['e', {pluribus: 'unum'}]);
91 // text is '["e",{"pluribus":"unum"}]'
94 text = JSON.stringify(['e', {pluribus: 'unum'}], null, '\t');
95 // text is '[\n\t"e",\n\t{\n\t\t"pluribus": "unum"\n\t}\n]'
97 text = JSON.stringify([new Date()], function (key, value) {
98 return this[key] instanceof Date ?
99 'Date(' + this[key] + ')' : value;
101 // text is '["Date(---current time---)"]'
104 JSON.parse(text, reviver)
105 This method parses a JSON text to produce an object or array.
106 It can throw a SyntaxError exception.
108 The optional reviver parameter is a function that can filter and
109 transform the results. It receives each of the keys and values,
110 and its return value is used instead of the original value.
111 If it returns what it received, then the structure is not modified.
112 If it returns undefined then the member is deleted.
116 // Parse the text. Values that look like ISO date strings will
117 // be converted to Date objects.
119 myData = JSON.parse(text, function (key, value) {
121 if (typeof value === 'string') {
123 /^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})T(\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2}(?:\.\d*)?)Z$/.exec(value);
125 return new Date(Date.UTC(+a[1], +a[2] - 1, +a[3], +a[4],
