Stringify and parse an object literal

I have this object literal

var rides = {
  brand: {
    type: String,
    label: "搜尋",
    max: 100
  },
  model: {
    type: String,
    label: "Tìm kiếm",
    max: 100
  },
  fueltype: {
    type: String,
    label: "Пошук",
    allowedValues: ['Petrol', 'Diesel', 'Hybrid', 'Electric'],
  },
  bodystyle: {
    type: String,
    label: "بحث",
    allowedValues: ['Convertibles', 'Coupes', 'Hatchbacks', 'Vans', 'Sedans', 'Suvs', 'Trucks', 'Wagons'],
    optional: true
  },
  topspeed: {
    type: Number,
    label: "חיפוש",
    optional: true
  },
  power: {
    type: Number,
    label: "Power (HP)",
    optional: true
  }
};

which i have stringfied in this way

var ss = JSON.stringify(rides);

However, for what I am doing to work, I need to get the object i stringfied exactly the way it was before i stringfied

Thi is what it looks like https://jsfiddle.net/y37crsvd/1/

Object { brand: Object, model: Object, fueltype: Object, bodystyle: Object, topspeed: Object, power: Object }

How can I stringify the object literal so as to show the nested object properties?

You can't stringify() functions, unless you use a custom revive parameter on JSON.parse(), and a custom mapper parameter on JSON.stringify(). Or, define Function.prototype.toJSON to get the "plain" JSON.stringify() to work with functions like window.Number and window.String.

When you log xx the console shows the object and allow you to expand the properties. It also puts the properties in alphabetic order.

If you do a JSON.stringify(xx) you will see exactly the same string as you input in the first time (properties in the same order...).

The xx in the fiddle does contain the nested object properties, it's the console which requires you to expand the inner properties as well...
