How can I convert a JavaScript object into a JSON string and vice versa?

Asked on Oct 09, 2025

Answer

To convert a JavaScript object into a JSON string, use the "JSON.stringify()" method. To convert a JSON string back into a JavaScript object, use the "JSON.parse()" method.
// Convert JavaScript object to JSON string
        const obj = { name: "Alice", age: 30 };
        const jsonString = JSON.stringify(obj);

        // Convert JSON string back to JavaScript object
        const parsedObj = JSON.parse(jsonString);
Additional Comment:
  • "JSON.stringify(obj)" converts a JavaScript object into a JSON string.
  • "JSON.parse(jsonString)" converts a JSON string back into a JavaScript object.
  • Ensure the JSON string is well-formed; otherwise, "JSON.parse()" will throw an error.
  • Use these methods for data serialization and deserialization, especially when working with web APIs.
