How to create JSON data in JS [duplicate]

Question

I would like to create a json object such as this that I can send to the server:

{
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "profile": {
          "token": "test"
  }
}

I can create the JSON but don't know how to create one that has multiple objects like the one above. This is what I've done so far

(In Console)

> var dataModel = { email: "[email protected]", token: "sometoken"}
>  undefined
> dataModel
>  Object {email: "[email protected]", token: "sometoken"}

The token needs to be inside profile

Should be noted that what you have posted in your top 'code-box' IS JSON. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a literal way of writing JS objects. The JSON 'string' is essentially a JS object being declared without the var myVar = bit. — Michael Coxon

Most modern browsers have JSON.stringify(yourData) and JSON.parse(jsonData);

Just create your object as a plain JavaScript object:

var object = {
  email: "[email protected]",
  profile: {
    token: "test"
  }
}

Then convert it to JSON:

var json = JSON.stringify(object);

var dataModel = {
    email: "[email protected]",
    profile: {
        token: "sometoken"
    }
};
var dataModelJSON = JSON.stringify(dataModel);

Supported by main browsers: http://caniuse.com/#search=JSON.stringify

try:

var dataModel = { email: "[email protected]"};
dataModel.profile = {token : "test"}

That will throw an 'undefined' exception.

Not acquainted with the {token = "test"} syntax. Is that something new?

Nope, not new, now fixed.
