Comment #2 on issue 1223 by [email protected]: JSON stringify on host
objects ends up with a recursion error
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=1223
Obviously, the structure *is* cyclic:
var div = document.createElement("div");
alert(div.ownerDocument == div.ownerDocument.body.ownerDocument); //
true.
The question is whether something should prevent JSON stringify from
following any of these properties.
It seems there isn't anything in WebKit DOM objects that makes them not
stringify.
Firefox DOM objects seem to be "special". The actual properties sit on an
inherited [xpconnect wrapped native prototype], which seems to break
JSON.stringify.
I can't see what IE is doing right now, but it's probably also a case of
not stringifying hosy objects.
There is nothing in the ECMAScript specification that specify how host
objects should work, so there is nothing right or wrong.
I'm satisfied that we follow Safari in how we deal with WebKit DOM objects.
