Stringify-object是yeoman团队制作的一个很好的NPM库:https://www.npmjs.com/package/stringify-object

npm install stringify-object

然后:

const stringifyObject = require('stringify-object');
stringifyObject(myCircularObject);

显然，只有当循环对象使用JSON.stringify()会失败时，它才有趣;

对于非嵌套对象:

Object.entries(o).map(x=>x.join(":")).join("\r\n")

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)。

javascript:
Object.prototype.spoof=function(){
    if (this instanceof String){
      return '(new String("'+this.replace(/"/g, '\\"')+'"))';
    }
    var str=(this instanceof Array)
        ? '['
        : (this instanceof Object)
            ? '{'
            : '(';
    for (var i in this){
      if (this[i] != Object.prototype.spoof) {
        if (this instanceof Array == false) {
          str+=(i.match(/\W/))
              ? '"'+i.replace('"', '\\"')+'":'
              : i+':';
        }
        if (typeof this[i] == 'string'){
          str+='"'+this[i].replace('"', '\\"');
        }
        else if (this[i] instanceof Date){
          str+='new Date("'+this[i].toGMTString()+'")';
        }
        else if (this[i] instanceof Array || this[i] instanceof Object){
          str+=this[i].spoof();
        }
        else {
          str+=this[i];
        }
        str+=', ';
      }
    };
    str=/* fix */(str.length>2?str.substring(0, str.length-2):str)/* -ed */+(
        (this instanceof Array)
        ? ']'
        : (this instanceof Object)
            ? '}'
            : ')'
    );
    return str;
  };
for(i in objRA=[
    [   'Simple Raw Object source code:',
        '[new Array, new Object, new Boolean, new Number, ' +
            'new String, new RegExp, new Function, new Date]'   ] ,

    [   'Literal Instances source code:',
        '[ [], {}, true, 1, "", /./, function(){}, new Date() ]'    ] ,

    [   'some predefined entities:',

    '\n.toSource()',(obj=eval(objRA[i][1])).toSource(),
    '\ntoSource() spoof:',obj.spoof()
].join('\n'));

显示:

我正在寻找这个，并写了一个深度递归缩进:

function objToString(obj, ndeep) {
  if(obj == null){ return String(obj); }
  switch(typeof obj){
    case "string": return '"'+obj+'"';
    case "function": return obj.name || obj.toString();
    case "object":
      var indent = Array(ndeep||1).join('\t'), isArray = Array.isArray(obj);
      return '{['[+isArray] + Object.keys(obj).map(function(key){
           return '\n\t' + indent + key + ': ' + objToString(obj[key], (ndeep||1)+1);
         }).join(',') + '\n' + indent + '}]'[+isArray];
    default: return obj.toString();
  }
}

使用方法:objToString({a: 1, b: {c: "test"}})

var obj={
name:'xyz',
Address:'123, Somestreet'
 }
var convertedString=JSON.stringify(obj) 
 console.log("literal object is",obj ,typeof obj);
 console.log("converted string :",convertedString);
 console.log(" convertedString type:",typeof convertedString);

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);
