json serializer in Sharepoint
By Anatoly Mironov
There is a very handy JSON lib for serializing javascript objects. It is hosted on github under douglas crockford. Download json2.js and serialize with JSON.stringify function: EDIT: There is actually this function in core javascript. It exists since javascript 1.7 and ecmascript 5. So you don’t have to add anything to get this functionality:
var t = { name: "dev", city: "new york" };
JSON.stringify(t);
```There are actually built-in goodies for serializing javascript objects in [ASP.NET](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb310857.aspx): Sys.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer.serialize
var t = { name: “dev”, city: “new york” }; Sys.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer.serialize(t);
[](https://sharepointkunskap.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/json-serialize.png) I discovered it when I "studied" the javascript code which follows with every page. Will see if more goodies can be discovered there:
