How can I convert my Json object to a string?

Question

I have an asynchronous function that returns remote json and stores it in a variable. After that, I try to use JSON.stringify on that variable and display the contents in an alert message to make sure they're a string instead of [object].[object],[object]. Here's the code:

    Jsonvar = result.shows; 
    var jsonstr=JSON.stringify(Jsonvar)
    alert(jsonstr + "yay"); 

It's not displaying anything. If you need even more code let me know. If you have another method to convert the object to a string, let me know.

Answer 1

JSON.stringify(JSON_OBJECT) will convert a valid JSON object to string.

jsFiddle - check this example

Note : verify if result.shows is a valid JSON object.
