Ember model to json

Question

I am looking for an efficient way to translate my Ember object to a json string, to use it in a websocket message below

/*
 * Model
 */

App.node = Ember.Obj

You can get a plain JS object (or hash) from an Ember.Object instance by calling getProperties() with a list of keys.

If you want it as a string, you can use JSON.stringify().

For example:

var obj  = Ember.Object.create({firstName: 'Erik', lastName: 'Bryn', login: 'ebryn'}),
    hash = obj.getProperties('firstName', 'lastName'), // => {firstName: 'Erik', lastName: 'Bryn'}
    stringHash = JSON.stringify(hash); // => '{"firstName": "Erik", "lastName": "Bryn"}'
