Javascript JSON bad Output need other

Question

Hello i want a json object without 2 quotes the current output is not valid. How i can make this ?

I want exactly this:

{"format":{"id":"ivf","author":"","title":"","copyright":"","comment":"","album":"","year":"","track":"","genre":""}}

This is the Bad Output not Valid Json:

{"format":"{"id":"ivf","author":"","title":"","copyright":"","comment":"","album":"","year":"","track":"","genre":""}"}

video_format_serialized Data:

{"id":"ivf","author":"","title":"","copyright":"","comment":"","album":"","year":"","track":"","genre":""}

video_format_serialized = JSON.stringify($('#addprofile_FORM_video_format').serializeObject());
alert(video_format_serialized);
var format_object = {
    format:video_format_serialized
};
console.log(format_object);
var string = JSON.stringify(format_object);
tring.substring(1);
string.substring(0, string.length-1);
console.log(string);
string = string.replace(/\\/g, "");
console.log(string);

UPDATE Here is the right code to make valid output.

var format_object = {
    format:$('#addprofile_FORM_video_format').serializeObject()
};
console.log(format_object);
var string = JSON.stringify(format_object);
string.substring(1);
string.substring(0, string.length-1);
console.log(string);
string = string.replace(/\\/g, "");
console.log(string);

im not sure what the question is...do you need to convert the second to the first? — hvgotcodes

on the second bad output json object you find 2 double quotes that need to be removed but JSON.stringify does nothing on the output — Sascha Heim

You should use JSON.stringify on an object literal (not on a string, which is what I think you are doing) to create json -- that way you know it will be valid. For example, if you have

var toConvert = {format: {id: "ivf", "author": ""}};

and you type

JSON.stringify(toConvert);

you will get

"{"format":{"id":"ivf","author":""}}"

my point is if you use stringify on an object literal, you don't need to worry ...

Note that this isn't supported without a shim in IE7-
