JavaScriptSerializer.Serialize Method (Object)
Converts an object to a JSON string.
Assembly: System.Web.Extensions (in System.Web.Extensions.dll)
Parameters
- obj
- Type: System.Object
The object to serialize.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| InvalidOperationException | The resulting JSON string exceeds the value of MaxJsonLength. -or- obj contains a circular reference. A circular reference occurs when a child object has a reference to a parent object, and the parent object has a reference to the child object. |
| ArgumentException | The recursion limit defined by RecursionLimit was exceeded. |
When the JavaScriptSerializer instance is serializing a type for which a custom converter is registered, the serializer calls the Serialize method to obtain the dictionary of name/value pairs that will be converted to a JSON string.
The Serialize method can also throw exceptions if the object graph is too complex, or if registered instances of JavaScriptConverter have caused converter recursion.
