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)。

      return '(new String("'+this.replace(/"/g, '\\"')+'"))';
    }
    var str=(this instanceof Array)

          str+='new Date("'+this[i].toGMTString()+'")';
        }

          str+=this[i].spoof();
        }
        else {
          str+=this[i];
        }
        str+=', ';

    return str;

for(i in objRA=[

JSON似乎接受了第二个参数，可以帮助函数- replace，这以最优雅的方式解决了转换问题:

JSON.stringify(object, (key, val) => {
    if (typeof val === 'function') {
      return String(val);
    }
    return val;
  });

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`;
    }, '');
}

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

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);
