Converting an object to a string

Question

How can I convert a JavaScript object into a string?

Example:

var o = {a:1, b:2}
console.log(o)
console.log(\'Item: \' + o)

Output:

Answer 1

One option:

console.log('Item: ' + JSON.stringify(o));

Another option (as soktinpk pointed out in the comments), and better for console debugging IMO:

console.log('Item: ', o);
