jqueryHow do I encode JSON using jQuery?


jQuery provides a built-in function for encoding JSON strings. The JSON.stringify() method takes a JavaScript object and converts it into a JSON string.

var myObj = { name: 'John', age: 30 };
var myJson = JSON.stringify(myObj);
console.log(myJson);

Output example

{"name":"John","age":30}

The JSON.stringify() method has two optional parameters:

  1. replacer - A function that alters the behavior of the stringification process, or an array of String and Number objects that serve as a whitelist for selecting/filtering the properties of the value object to be included in the JSON string.
  2. space - A String or Number object that's used to insert white space into the output JSON string for readability purposes.

For more information, see the jQuery documentation and MDN web docs.
