使用带有替换符的JSON.stringify方法。有关详细信息，请阅读本文档。http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc836459%28v=vs.94%29.aspx

var obj = {
  a: "foo",
  b: obj
}

var replacement = {"b":undefined};

alert(JSON.stringify(obj,replacement));

找出用循环引用填充替换数组的方法。您可以使用typeof方法来查找属性的类型是否为“object”（引用），并使用精确的等式检查（==）来验证循环引用。

就这样吧

npm i --save circular-json

然后在js文件中

const CircularJSON = require('circular-json');
...
const json = CircularJSON.stringify(obj);

https://github.com/WebReflection/circular-json

注意：我与这个包裹无关。但我确实用它来做这个。

2020年更新

请注意，CircularJSON仅在维护中，flatted是其继任者。

JSON.stringify（）的第二个参数还允许您指定一个关键字名称数组，该数组应保存在数据中遇到的每个对象中。这可能不适用于所有用例，但却是一个简单得多的解决方案。

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify

var obj = {
    a: "foo",
    b: this
}

var json = JSON.stringify(obj, ['a']);
console.log(json);
// {"a":"foo"}

注意：奇怪的是，OP中的对象定义在最新的Chrome或Firefox中没有抛出循环引用错误。这个答案中的定义被修改了，所以它确实抛出了一个错误。

根据其他答案，我最终得到以下代码。它可以很好地处理循环引用、带有自定义构造函数的对象。

从要序列化的给定对象，

缓存遍历对象时遇到的所有对象，并为每个对象分配一个唯一的hashID（自动递增的数字也有效）找到循环引用后，将新对象中的字段标记为循环，并将原始对象的hashID存储为属性。

示例用法1：

var obj = {

    box: {

        key: 'storm'
    },
    lines:[
        'item1',
        23
    ]
};

console.log(obj); // ORIGINAL

// SERIALIZE AND THEN PARSE
var jsonObj = DJS.stringify(obj);
console.log(DJS.parse(jsonObj));

示例用法2：

// PERSON OBJECT

function Person() {
    this.name = null;
    this.child = null;
    this.dad = null;
    this.mom = null;
}
var Dad = new Person();
Dad.name = 'John';
var Mom = new Person();
Mom.name = 'Sarah';
var Child = new Person();
Child.name = 'Kiddo';

Dad.child = Mom.child = Child;
Child.dad = Dad;
Child.mom = Mom;

console.log(Child); // ORIGINAL

// SERIALIZE AND THEN PARSE
var jsonChild = DJS.stringify(Child);
console.log(DJS.parse(jsonChild));

要更新重写JSON工作方式的答案（可能不推荐，但非常简单），不要使用循环JSON（已弃用）。相反，使用后续的，扁平的：

https://www.npmjs.com/package/flatted

借用了上面@user1541685的旧答案，但替换为新答案：

npm i—保存展平

然后在js文件中

const CircularJSON = require('flatted');
const json = CircularJSON.stringify(obj);

循环引用时，此代码将失败：

    JSON.stringify(circularReference);
// TypeError: cyclic object value

使用以下代码：

 const getCircularReplacer = () => {
  const seen = new WeakSet();
  return (key, value) => {
    if (typeof value === "object" && value !== null) {
      if (seen.has(value)) {
        return;
      }
      seen.add(value);
    }
    return value;
  };
};

JSON.stringify(circularReference, getCircularReplacer());
