How to stringify a whole Javascript Object including __proto__ properties?

I am sorry if this is a duplicate, so far I couldn't find the same question.

I have an Object with various methods in my __proto__ member. Let's call the type of this object myObjectType.

Later on I have to do a JSON.stringify(myObjectType). The problem is that then when I build my object from the previous obtained JSON string the type of my Object is plain Object, I lost all the methods I had.

Does any one see why ?

I'd highly recommend Douglas Crockford's libraries:

There's no standardized way of incorporating functions into JSON data. You can do something yourself — that is, write your own JSON serializer that incorporates functions according to some convention — but with straight standard JSON you get numbers, strings, booleans, and null, plus of course objects with named properties and arrays. No functions, just data.
