如果只是想查看用于调试的对象，可以使用

var o = {a:1, b:2} 
console.dir(o)

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

使用javascript String()函数

 String(yourobject); //returns [object Object]

或stringify ()

JSON.stringify(yourobject)

当然，要将对象转换为字符串，你必须使用自己的方法，例如:

function objToString (obj) {
    var str = '';
    for (var p in obj) {
        if (Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(obj, p)) {
            str += p + '::' + obj[p] + '\n';
        }
    }
    return str;
}

实际上，以上只是展示了一般方法;您可能希望使用诸如http://phpjs.org/functions/var_export:578或http://phpjs.org/functions/var_dump:604之类的东西

或者，如果你不使用方法(函数作为对象的属性)，你可以使用新的标准(但在旧的浏览器中没有实现，尽管你也可以找到一个实用工具来帮助它们)，JSON.stringify()。但同样，如果对象使用的函数或其他属性不能序列化为JSON，这将不起作用。

更新:

一个更现代的解决方案是:

function objToString (obj) {
    let str = '';
    for (const [p, val] of Object.entries(obj)) {
        str += `${p}::${val}\n`;
    }
    return str;
}

or:

function objToString (obj) {
    return Object.entries(obj).reduce((str, [p, val]) => {
        return `${str}${p}::${val}\n`;
    }, '');
}

在检查最后一项时，使用reduce来更改(key,value)元组之间的分隔符sep的修改方法:

/**
     * Object to string
     * @param {*} obj 
     * @param {*} k_sep keys separator
     * @param {*} v_sep values separator
     * @returns 
     */
    var objectToString: function (obj, k_sep = '=', v_sep = ',') {
      const entries = Object.entries(obj);
      return entries.reduce((str, [p, val], counter) => {
        if (counter < entries.length - 1) {
          return `${str}${p}${k_sep}${val}${v_sep}`;
        } else {
          return `${str}${p}${k_sep}${val}`;
        }
      }, '');
    }

/** * Object to string * @param {*} obj * @param {*} k_sep keys separator * @param {*} v_sep values separator * @returns */ var objectToString = function(obj, k_sep = '=', v_sep = ',') { const entries = Object.entries(obj); return entries.reduce((str, [p, val], counter) => { if (counter < entries.length - 1) { return `${str}${p}${k_sep}${val}${v_sep}`; } else { return `${str}${p}${k_sep}${val}`; } }, ''); } console.log( objectToString({ status_code: 200, execute_time: 0.1, ip: '1270.0.0.1' }, ':', ",")) console.log( objectToString({ status_code: 200, execute_time: 0.1, ip: '1270.0.0.1' }, '=', ","))

JSON方法远不如Gecko引擎的. tosource()原语。

有关比较测试，请参阅SO文章响应。

同样，上面的答案指的是http://forums.devshed.com/javascript-development-115/tosource-with-arrays-in-ie-386109.html，它像JSON一样(另一篇文章http://www.davidpirek.com/blog/object-to-string-how-to-deserialize-json通过“ExtJs JSON编码源代码”使用)不能处理循环引用，并且是不完整的。下面的代码显示了它的(欺骗的)限制(修正为处理无内容的数组和对象)。
