method, its toJSON method will be called and the result will be
stringified. A toJSON method does not serialize: it returns the

+
+ For example, this would serialize Dates as ISO strings.
- This is the toJSON method added to Dates:
+ Date.prototype.toJSON = function (key) {

+ // Format integers to have at least two digits.

+ }
- function toJSON(key) {

f(this.getUTCDate()) + 'T' +
f(this.getUTCHours()) + ':' +
f(this.getUTCMinutes()) + ':' +
f(this.getUTCSeconds()) + 'Z';
- }
+ };
You can provide an optional replacer method. It will be passed the
key and value of each member, with this bound to the containing
serialized. If your method returns undefined, then the member will
be excluded from the serialization.
- If no replacer parameter is provided, then a default replacer
- will be used:
-
- function replacer(key, value) {
- return Object.hasOwnProperty.call(this, key) ?
- value : undefined;
- }
-
- The default replacer is passed the key and value for each item in
- the structure. It excludes inherited members.
-
- If the replacer parameter is an array, then it will be used to
- select the members to be serialized. It filters the results such
- that only members with keys listed in the replacer array are

+ Values that do not have JSON representations, such as undefined or
functions, will not be serialized. Such values in objects will be
dropped; in arrays they will be replaced with null. You can use
a replacer function to replace those with JSON values.
JSON.stringify(undefined) returns undefined.
