Best way to serialize/unserialize objects in JavaScript? (10 answers)

Closed 8 years ago.

When you serialise a form using jQuery.serialize(), the method will serialise the form fields and its values so you can submit to the server. Is there a method/function that would do the same with a javascript object instead of a form?

Answer 1

You're looking for the jQuery.param function.

Answer 2

Check out JSON.stringify.

JSON.stringify({x: 5, y: 6}); // '{"x":5,"y":6}' or '{"y":6,"x":5}'
