WddxSerializer Object

The WddxSerializer object includes functions that serialize any JavaScript data
structure.
The only function that developers typically call is serialize.

serialize

Creates a WDDX packet for a passed WddxRecordset instance.
Syntax
object .serialize( rootobj )
object
Instance name of the WddxSerializer object.
rootobj
JavaScript data structure to be serialized.
Return
String. Returns the serialized WDDX packet if the function succeeds and a null value if
an error occurs.
value
Usage
Call this function to serialize the data in a WddxRecordset instance.
Example
This example illustrates a JavaScript function that you can call to serialize a
WddxRecordset instance. The function copies serialized data to a form field for display:
function serializeData(data, formField)
{
wddxSerializer = new WddxSerializer();
wddxPacket = wddxSerializer.serialize(data);
if (wddxPacket != null)
{
formField.value = wddxPacket;
}
else
{
alert("Couldn't serialize data");
}
}

serializeVariable

Serializes a property of a structure. If an object is not a string, number, array, Boolean,
or a date, WddxSerializer treats it as a structure.
Syntax
object .serializeVariable( name , obj )
