"Pretty easy huh? And here’s how to get a JSON string from an object:var personString = JSON.stringify(person);"
As a long-time fan of Python's pickle and shelve, I hope JSON.stringify properly handles JavaScript object graphs. And I hope jQuery exposes a similar API.
I think jQuery provides only .param, which is designed as a helper for forms serialization and which does not handle nested objects. For example, in jQuery 1.3.1 this:
var graph = { 'item': { 'name': 'bob', value:42 }, 'index': 1}; $('#msg').html("Graph: " + $.param(graph));
produces this:
Graph: item=%5Bobject+Object%5D&index=1
