Converting objects into strings

Let's first make a variable called obj, setting it equal to an object. On this object, we'll just define one property, name, and set it equal to your first name; I'll set this one equal to Andrew, as shown here:

var obj = {  name: 'Andrew'};

Now, let's assume that we want to take this object and work on it. Let's say we want to, for example, send it between servers as a string and save it to a text file. To do this, we'll need to call one JSON method.

Let's take a moment to define a variable to store the result, stringObj, and we'll set it equal to JSON.stringify, as shown here:

var stringObj = JSON.stringify(obj);

The JSON.stringify method takes your object, in this case, the obj variable, and returns the JSON-stringified ...
