JSON.stringify function

Question

I have an object that has some properties and methods, like so:

{name: \"FirstName\",
age: \"19\",
load: function () {},
uniq: 0.5233059714082628}
         


        

Answer 1

Not something I would ever do but it is worth mentioning that there are ways to stringify function (i.e. it is not impossible).

Take the following:

var func = function(){console.log('logged')};
var strFunc = func.toString();

//then
var parsedFunc = eval('('+strFunc+')');
parsedFunc();

//or simply
eval('('+strFunc+')()');
//or
eval('('+strFunc+')')();
//or
eval('var anotherFunc='+strFunc);
anotherFunc()

The above with an overridden toJSON() can achieve a shallow stringified function;
