JSON object toJSONstring( )

[Claus Mygind]

I see a lot of references to "toJSONstring() ", but nothing on how to construct it or if it defined in some library.

I have been able to construct my jsonObject which is a collection of 3 sets of data 1) a polygon with variable number of vertices, 2) a variable list of feature points lat/lng 3) a corresponding list of feature attributes describing the feature points.

I want to send this information via ajax to my web server for processing.

From JSON.orgI have downloaded both json.js and json2.js, I see the relatively new json2 supersedes json. Also in json2 "toJSONstri ng() is no longer used. Instead it is " JSON.stringify( value, replacer, space)"

Below is my code and below that some sample data. My question is how do I execute line 34 of this code.

I have an object myJrec created on line 24. This object has to be json stringified? How do I do that? Note - I have linked the json2.js to my html page, so it is available to act upon myJrec.

//save layout section
function saveLayout() {

	// Since this Polygon only has one path, we can call getPath()
	// to return the MVCArray of LatLngs
	var vertices = poly.getPath();
	var jobSite = '{"JOBSITE":[';
	// get job site location.
	for (var i =0; i < vertices.length; i++) {
		var xy = vertices.getAt(i);
			jobSite += '{"VERTICE":"' + xy.lat() +" " + xy.lng() + '"},';
	}
	jobSite = jobSite.substring(0,jobSite.lastIndexOf(","))+']';
	//get marked features on job site
	var featureAttrib = '"FEATUREATTRIB":[';
	var featurePoints = '"FEATUREPOINTS":[';
	for (var i = 0; i < markersArray.length; i++ )
	{
			featureAttrib += '{"FEATURE":"' + exchangeArray[i].feature + '","ICON":"' + exchangeArray[i].iconColor + '"},';
			featurePoints += '{"POINT":"'   + markersArray[0].position.lat() +' '+ markersArray[0].position.lng() + '"},';
	}
	featureAttrib = featureAttrib.substring(0,featureAttrib.lastIndexOf(","))+']';
	featurePoints = featurePoints.substring(0,featurePoints.lastIndexOf(","))+']}';
	var myJrec  = eval("("+jobSite + ',' + featureAttrib + ','+ featurePoints+")");

	var request = window.ActiveXObject ?
		new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP') :
	    new XMLHttpRequest;

	var url = 'saveProjectLayout.exe?timeStamp=' + new Date().getTime();
	request.open("POST", url, true);
	request.onreadystatechange = updatePage;
	request.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
	request.send(myJrec.toJsonString());

}

Sample data my json object myJrec

{"JOBSITE":[{"VERTICE":"41. 75076232883921 -88.152289318771 38"},{"VERTICE" :"41.7482649598 11564 -88.157685923309 34"},{"VERTICE" :"41.7479848001 74116 -88.157718109817 52"},{"VERTICE" :"41.7480568413 405 -88.152353691787 74"}],"FEATUREATTRIB ":[{"FEATURE":"p1" ,"ICON":"iconb" },{"FEATURE":"p 2","ICON":"icon g"},{"FEATURE": "p3","ICON":"ic onr"},{"FEATURE ":"p4","ICON":" iconr"},{"FEATU RE":"p5","ICON" :"icony"}],"FEATUREPOINTS ":[{"POINT":"41.74 914945578666 -88.154976892204 3"},{"POINT":"4 1.7491494557866 6 -88.154976892204 3"},{"POINT":"4 1.7491494557866 6 -88.154976892204 3"},{"POINT":"4 1.7491494557866 6 -88.154976892204 3"},{"POINT":"4 1.7491494557866 6 -88.154976892204 3"}]}

I got this one figured out. Actually pretty easy

from this
request.send(my Jrec.toJsonStri ng());

to this
request.send(jS ON.stingify(myJ rec));

with the the json2.js file linked to the html page
