Is there a way to view a javascript object as JSON?

In my web application, there is a complex JavaScript object that I need to debug. I'd like to be able to view it in it's JSON form. It is not sent to or from the server, so I can't see it in the network tab of any of the developer tools. I can see it in the "Scope Variables" area, but not as JSON.

Is there a way, using the developer tools for any of the major browsers, to view a local JavaScript variable as JSON?

In chrome or in firebug, simply do console.log(myObj) You will be able to open up the object and see its values and properties.

I think you are looking for:

JSON.stringify(obj, null, 4)

Although you can display objects directly in most debuggers using

console.log(obj);

or 

console.dir(obj);
