Hi, today I would like to show you how to print JSON to the console using JavaScript.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
var object = {"id": 2, "name": "Tom", "age": 25};
​
console.log(JSON.stringify(object));
/* {"id":2,"name":"Tom","age":25} */
​
console.log(JSON.stringify(object, null, 4));
/*
{
    "id": 2,
    "name": "Tom",
    "age": 25
}
*/

Auto running

Note: using JSON.stringify(userObj) we convert object to JSON and print to console.

Other type examples

Edit

It is possible to convert different types to JSON. Types like: boolean, number, string, object, etc.

Practical example:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
var boolean = true;
var number = 2;
var string ='Some text inside...';
var object = {'id':2,'name':'Tom','age':25};
​
function printJSON(entry) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(entry));
}
​
printJSON(boolean); // true
printJSON(number);  // 2
printJSON(string);  // Some text inside...
printJSON(object);  // {"id":2,"name":"Tom","age":25}
