Why doesn't JSON.stringify display object properties that are functions?

Question

Why doesn\'t JSON.stringify() display prop2?

var newObj = {
  prop1: true,
  prop2: function(){
    return \"hello\";
  },
  prop3: false
};

alert( JSON.str

Here is another way with using a .prototype. You can add an function to stringify

JSON.stringify(obj, function(k, v) {
  if (typeof v === 'function') {
    return v + '';
  }
  return v;
});
