var o = {a:1, b:2};

o.toString=function(){
  return 'a='+this.a+', b='+this.b;
};

console.log(o);
console.log('Item: ' + o);

因为Javascript v1.0可以在任何地方工作(甚至是IE) 这是一种本地方法，允许在调试和生产过程中对对象进行定制 https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/toString

有用的例子

var Ship=function(n,x,y){
  this.name = n;
  this.x = x;
  this.y = y;
};
Ship.prototype.toString=function(){
  return '"'+this.name+'" located at: x:'+this.x+' y:'+this.y;
};

alert([new Ship('Star Destroyer', 50.001, 53.201),
new Ship('Millennium Falcon', 123.987, 287.543),
new Ship('TIE fighter', 83.060, 102.523)].join('\n'));//now they can battle!
//"Star Destroyer" located at: x:50.001 y:53.201
//"Millennium Falcon" located at: x:123.987 y:287.543
//"TIE fighter" located at: x:83.06 y:102.523

还有，作为奖励

function ISO8601Date(){
  return this.getFullYear()+'-'+(this.getMonth()+1)+'-'+this.getDate();
}
var d=new Date();
d.toString=ISO8601Date;//demonstrates altering native object behaviour
alert(d);
//IE6   Fri Jul 29 04:21:26 UTC+1200 2016
//FF&GC Fri Jul 29 2016 04:21:26 GMT+1200 (New Zealand Standard Time)
//d.toString=ISO8601Date; 2016-7-29

示例:

    arr : ["1", "2", "3", 4],
b : true,
    vobj : {
        str : "hello2"
    }
}

var ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2;
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
f1 = fso.OpenTextFile("your_object1.txt", ForWriting, true)
f1.Write(getAsText(obj, "\t"));
f1.Close();

f2 = fso.OpenTextFile("your_object2.txt", ForWriting, true)
f2.Write(getAsText(obj, "\t", true));
f2.Close();

your_object1.txt:

{ 
    "str" : "hello" ,
    "arr" : [ 
        "1" ,
        "2" ,
        "3" ,
        4
    ],
    "b" : true,
    "vobj" : { 
        "str" : "hello2" 
    }

}

your_object2.txt:

{ /* typeobj: object*/
    "str" : "hello" /* typeobj: string*/,
    "arr" : [ /* typeobj: object*/
        "1" /* typeobj: string*/,
        "2" /* typeobj: string*/,
        "3" /* typeobj: string*/,
        4/* typeobj: number*/
    ],
    "b" : true/* typeobj: boolean*/,
    "vobj" : { /* typeobj: object*/
        "str" : "hello2" /* typeobj: string*/
    }

}

实际上，现有的答案中缺少一个简单的选项(适用于最近的浏览器和Node.js):

console.log('Item: %o', o);

我更喜欢这样做，因为JSON.stringify()有一定的限制(例如循环结构)。

下面是一些简单的解决方案。

它只对字符串显示""，对数字和函数/方法不显示""(如果方法是这样写的):

  let obj = {
        name: "Philips TV",
        price: 2500,
        somemethod: function() {return "Hi there"}
  };
  
  let readableobj = '{ ';
  
  for(key in obj) {
    readableobj +=
    (typeof obj[key] === "string")? `${key}: "${obj[key]}", ` : `${key}: ${obj[key]}, `;
  }
 
  readableobj += '}';
  
  console.log('obj', readableobj); // obj { name: "Philips TV", price: 42, somemethod: function() {return "Hi there"}, }

这个解决方案使用尾随逗号(自ECMAScript 5起是合法的-请参阅MDN中的参考)。

代码基于'for in'循环的最简单形式:

let obj = {key: "value"};
for(key in obj) {
    return "The property " + key + " with value " + obj[key];
}

注意:它甚至适用于这种方法符号:

  let obj = {
        name: "Philips TV",
        price: 2500,
        somemethod() {return "Hi there"}
  };

将结果显示为

    obj { name: "Philips TV", price: 42, somemethod: somemethod() {return "Hi there"}, } 

甚至对于箭头函数符号

  let obj = {
        name: "Philips TV",
        price: 2500,
        somemethod: () => {return "Hi there"}
  };

将结果显示为

    obj { name: "Philips TV", price: 42, somemethod: () => {return "Hi there"}, }

因此，你可以以一种可接受的格式显示一个对象，即使它里面有三种形式的方法符号，就像这样:

  let obj = {
        name: "Philips TV",
        price: 2500,
        method1: function() {return "Hi there"},
        method2() {return "Hi there"},
        method3: () => {return "Hi there"}
  };

有人可能会看到，即使是第二种格式method2() {return "Hi there"}，通过复制它的标识符，最终也会显示为一个对键:值

// method2: method2() {return "Hi there"}

最后，true / false、undefined、null的处理方式与数字和函数相同(在最终格式中没有显示“”)，因为它们也不是字符串。

重要的是:

JSON.stringify()销毁原始对象，这意味着方法丢失，并且不会显示在由它创建的最终字符串中。

因此，我们可能不应该接受涉及它的使用的解决方案。

console.log('obj', JSON.stringify(obj)); // obj {"name":"Philips TV","price":2500} // which is NOT acceptable

循环引用

通过使用下面的替换器，我们可以产生更少冗余的JSON -如果源对象包含对某个对象的多次引用，或者包含循环引用-那么我们通过特殊的路径字符串(类似于JSONPath)引用它-我们如下所示

let s = JSON.stringify(obj, refReplacer());

function refReplacer() { let m = new Map(), v= new Map(), init = null; return function(field, value) { let p= m.get(this) + (Array.isArray(this) ? `[${field}]` : '.' + field); let isComplex= value===Object(value) if (isComplex) m.set(value, p); let pp = v.get(value)||''; let path = p.replace(/undefined\.\.?/,''); let val = pp ? `#REF:${pp[0]=='[' ? '$':'$.'}${pp}` : value; !init ? (init=value) : (val===init ? val="#REF:$" : 0); if(!pp && isComplex) v.set(value, path); return val; } } // --------------- // TEST // --------------- // gen obj with duplicate references let a = { a1: 1, a2: 2 }; let b = { b1: 3, b2: "4" }; let obj = { o1: { o2: a }, b, a }; // duplicate reference a.a3 = [1,2,b]; // circular reference b.b3 = a; // circular reference let s = JSON.stringify(obj, refReplacer(), 4); console.log(s);

奖励:这里是这种序列化的逆函数

function parseRefJSON(json) { let objToPath = new Map(); let pathToObj = new Map(); let o = JSON.parse(json); let traverse = (parent, field) => { let obj = parent; let path = '#REF:$'; if (field !== undefined) { obj = parent[field]; path = objToPath.get(parent) + (Array.isArray(parent) ? `[${field}]` : `${field?'.'+field:''}`); } objToPath.set(obj, path); pathToObj.set(path, obj); let ref = pathToObj.get(obj); if (ref) parent[field] = ref; for (let f in obj) if (obj === Object(obj)) traverse(obj, f); } traverse(o); return o; } // ------------ // TEST // ------------ let s = `{ "o1": { "o2": { "a1": 1, "a2": 2, "a3": [ 1, 2, { "b1": 3, "b2": "4", "b3": "#REF:$.o1.o2" } ] } }, "b": "#REF:$.o1.o2.a3[2]", "a": "#REF:$.o1.o2" }`; console.log('Open Chrome console to see nested fields:'); let obj = parseRefJSON(s); console.log(obj);

看看jQuery-JSON插件

它的核心是使用JSON。但是如果浏览器没有实现它，它就会退回到自己的解析器。
