serialize

  • Edit on GitHub

Serialize this object to something that can be passed to JSON.stringify.

map.serialize()

Get the serialized Object form of the map. Serialized data is typically used to send back to a server.

o.serialize() //-> { name: 'Justin' }

Serialize currently returns the same data as [can.Map.prototype.attrs]. However, in future versions, serialize will be able to return serialized data similar to [can.Model]. The following will work:

new Map({time: new Date()})
    .serialize() //-> { time: 1319666613663 }

Returns

{Object}:

a JavaScript Object that can be serialized with JSON.stringify or other methods.

CanJS is part of DoneJS. Created and maintained by the core DoneJS team and Bitovi. Currently 3.14.1.
