Discussion on: The secret power of JSON stringify

Replies for: I'd been looking everywhere to find a simple way to get JSON.stringify() to output items in a specific order. You post provided exactly what I need...

4.b.ii: If Type(replacer) is [Array]:
4.b.ii.g: If item is not undefined and item is not currently an element of PropertyList, then Append item to the end of PropertyList.

Thanks for that. Pity it is missing from the MDN Doc's. For some reason the links didn't take me to the relevant sections.

Updated links. DEV included trailing : in links, so they broke.

Thanks, the links now work.

I didn't pick up on the ", but with limitation of maximum object depth 1" issue and I need to handle objects with depth > 1.

After some more searching I found this article which is a collection of code snippets. tfzx.net/article/499097.html

The code that worked for me is:

    var allKeys = [];
    JSON.stringify( json, function( key, value ){ allKeys.push( key ); return value; } )
    allKeys.sort();
