Converting JavaScript Objects to JSON

Node allows you to convert a JavaScript object into a properly formatted JSON string. Thus you can store the string form in a file or database, send it across an HTTP connection, or write it to a stream or buffer. You use the JSON.stringify(object) method to parse a JavaScript object and generate a JSON string. For example, the following code defines a JavaScript object that includes string, numeric, and array properties. JSON.stringify() converts it to a JSON string:

var accountObj = {
  name: "Baggins",
  number: 10645,
  members: ["Frodo, Bilbo"],
  location: "Shire"
};
var accountStr = JSON.stringify(accountObj);
console.log(accountStr);

The above snippet outputs the following:
