Convert Object to JSON string

jQuery does only make some regexp checking before calling the native browser method window.JSON.parse(). If that is not available, it uses eval() or more exactly new Function() to create a Javascript object.

The opposite of JSON.parse() is JSON.stringify() which serializes a Javascript object into a string. jQuery does not have functionality of its own for that, you have to use the browser built-in version or json2.js from http://www.json.org

JSON.stringify() is available in all major browsers, but to be compatible with older browsers you still need that fallback.
