cyclic object value error when converting JSON object to String using JSON.stringify()

Question

I have a JSON object of format:

obj { 
 name: "abc" , 
 entriesList : "list of entry obj" , 
 propertiesList : "list of properties obj" 
};

where entry is also another object

entry { 
 info : "data obj" , 
 age : "15" , 
 subjects : "5"
}
properties { 
 a : "a" , 
 b : "b" 
}
data { 
 c : "c" , 
 d : "d"
}

Using JSON.stringify() it is giving error

cyclic object value

How should I convert my object to JSON string?

• user3505394: Isn't JSON.parse reverse of JSON.stringify i.e. converting JSON string to JSON obj? whereas my need is stringily
• crc442: Is your JSON cyclic? Is the original 'obj' an entry object?
• user3505394: @crc442 No, it does't looks cyclic to me. Original obj is not an entry object.
• crc442: Can you post the actual data?
• user3505394: I can't post actual data but I am trying to come up with more clear analogy.

Answer 1

I can't see a cycle from your example, but the idea is to not include cyclic references in your object. I mean to avoid something like this:

var a = {}, b = {};
a.child = b;
b.child = a; //This will cause a cyclic reference when calling JSON.stringify both on a and b object

• user3505394: I understood not to include cycles references and I can't see cyclic references as well.But I am getting error as cyclic object value.
