URL.toJSON()

This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

The toJSON() method of the URL interface returns a DOMString containing the whole URL. It returns the same string as the href property.

Description

This method is supposed to only be invoked by the JSON.stringify() method.

Examples

const url = new URL("https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/toJSON");
const obj = {key: url};
console.log(JSON.stringify(obj)); // logs '{"key": "https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/toJSON"}'
