This file creates a global JSON object containing two methods: stringify
22
JSON.stringify(value, replacer, space)
23
value any JavaScript value, usually an object or array.
25
replacer an optional parameter that determines how object
26
values are stringified for objects. It can be a
27
function or an array of strings.
29
space an optional parameter that specifies the indentation
30
of nested structures. If it is omitted, the text will
31
be packed without extra whitespace. If it is a number,
32
it will specify the number of spaces to indent at each
33
level. If it is a string (such as '\t' or ' '),
34
it contains the characters used to indent at each level.
36
This method produces a JSON text from a JavaScript value.
38
When an object value is found, if the object contains a toJSON
39
method, its toJSON method will be called and the result will be
40
stringified. A toJSON method does not serialize: it returns the
41
value represented by the name/value pair that should be serialized,
42
or undefined if nothing should be serialized. The toJSON method
43
will be passed the key associated with the value, and this will be
46
For example, this would serialize Dates as ISO strings.
48
Date.prototype.toJSON = function (key) {
50
// Format integers to have at least two digits.
51
return n < 10 ? '0' + n : n;
54
return this.getUTCFullYear() + '-' +
55
f(this.getUTCMonth() + 1) + '-' +
56
f(this.getUTCDate()) + 'T' +
57
f(this.getUTCHours()) + ':' +
58
f(this.getUTCMinutes()) + ':' +
59
f(this.getUTCSeconds()) + 'Z';
62
You can provide an optional replacer method. It will be passed the
63
key and value of each member, with this bound to the containing
64
object. The value that is returned from your method will be
65
serialized. If your method returns undefined, then the member will
66
be excluded from the serialization.
68
If the replacer parameter is an array of strings, then it will be
69
used to select the members to be serialized. It filters the results
70
such that only members with keys listed in the replacer array are
73
Values that do not have JSON representations, such as undefined or
74
functions, will not be serialized. Such values in objects will be
75
dropped; in arrays they will be replaced with null. You can use
76
a replacer function to replace those with JSON values.
77
JSON.stringify(undefined) returns undefined.
79
The optional space parameter produces a stringification of the
80
value that is filled with line breaks and indentation to make it
83
If the space parameter is a non-empty string, then that string will
84
be used for indentation. If the space parameter is a number, then
85
the indentation will be that many spaces.
89
text = JSON.stringify(['e', {pluribus: 'unum'}]);
90
// text is '["e",{"pluribus":"unum"}]'
93
text = JSON.stringify(['e', {pluribus: 'unum'}], null, '\t');
94
// text is '[\n\t"e",\n\t{\n\t\t"pluribus": "unum"\n\t}\n]'
96
text = JSON.stringify([new Date()], function (key, value) {
97
return this[key] instanceof Date ?
98
'Date(' + this[key] + ')' : value;
100
// text is '["Date(---current time---)"]'
103
JSON.parse(text, reviver)
104
This method parses a JSON text to produce an object or array.
105
It can throw a SyntaxError exception.
107
The optional reviver parameter is a function that can filter and
108
transform the results. It receives each of the keys and values,
109
and its return value is used instead of the original value.
110
If it returns what it received, then the structure is not modified.
111
If it returns undefined then the member is deleted.
115
// Parse the text. Values that look like ISO date strings will
116
// be converted to Date objects.
118
myData = JSON.parse(text, function (key, value) {
120
if (typeof value === 'string') {
122
/^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})T(\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2}(?:\.\d*)?)Z$/.exec(value);
124
return new Date(Date.UTC(+a[1], +a[2] - 1, +a[3], +a[4],
131
myData = JSON.parse('["Date(09/09/2001)"]', function (key, value) {
