In this article we will examine the benefits of object serialization, the current browser implementations, and develop some code that could help your Ajax-based projects. Assume we have a fairly complex JavaScript object defined using literal notation: var obj1 = { b1: true, s1: "text string", n1: 12345, n2: null, n3: undefined, a1: [ 1,1,2,3,5,8, [13, 21, 34] ], o1: { a: [3, 2, 1], b: { c: 42, d: [ 3.14, 1.618 ] } } }; We can access any of the object properties in a variety of ways: obj1.s1; // returns "text string" obj1["n1"]; // returns 12345 obj1.a1[6][1]; // returns 21 obj1["o1"]["b"]["c"]; // returns 42 This object can also be passed to JavaScript functions and methods rather than specifying individual arguments.
