19 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) {
133 if (typeof value === 'string' &&
134 value.slice(0, 5) === 'Date(' &&
