How to print the content of an object in JavaScript ?

Last Updated : 09 May, 2019

The JSON.stringify() method is used to print the JavaScript object.
JSON.stringify() Method: The JSON.stringify() method is used to allow to take a JavaScript object or Array and create a JSON string out of it. While developing an application using JavaScript many times it is needed to serialize the data to strings for storing the data into a database or for sending the data to an API or web server. The data has to be in the form of the strings. This conversion of an object to a string can be easily done with the help of the JSON.stringify() function.

Syntax:

JSON.stringify(value, replacer, space)

Example 1: This example converting the object to a string by simply traversing it and appending the object property and value to the string.

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
    <head> 
        <title> 
            Print the content of object using JavaScript
        </title>
    </head> 
      
    <body style = "text-align:center;" id = "body"> 
      
        <h1 style = "color:green;" > 
            GeeksForGeeks 
        </h1>
      
        <p>
            Print JavaScript Object.
        </p>
          
        <button onclick = "gfg_Run()"> 
            print object
        </button>
          
        <p id = "GFG_DOWN" style 
               = "color:green; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold;">
        </p>
          
        <script>
            var el_down = document.getElementById("GFG_DOWN");
              
            var GFG_object = { 
                prop_1: 'val_11', 
                prop_2: 'val_12', 
                prop_3: 'val_13'
            };
              
            var printObj = function(obj) {
                var string = '';
  
                for(var prop in obj) {
                    if(typeof obj[prop] == 'string') {
                        string+= prop + ': ' + obj[prop]+'; </br>';
                    }
                    else {
                        string+= prop + ': { </br>' + print(obj[prop]) + '}';
                    }
                }
  
                return string;
            }
            function gfg_Run() { 
                el_down.innerHTML = printObj(GFG_object);
            }
        </script> 
    </body> 
</html>
