serialize

(plugins.serialize)

Overview

The serialize plugin provides essential tools for working with JSON data, allowing objects to be serialized into JSON text and deserialized back into JavaScript objects.

The toJSON method converts a JavaScript object into a JSON string, enabling data to be stored or transmitted in a lightweight format.

Conversely, the fromJSON method transforms a JSON string back into its original JavaScript object representation.
