How to add quotation marks to key-value object?

Question

How can I change this :

{"position":4}

to this :

{"position":"4"}

Is there any simpe function (in javascript or node.js package), that puts quots around value ?

Answer 1

Maybe this (add quotation marks to the string):

var obj = {position: 4};
for (var p in obj)
    obj[p] = '"' + obj[p] + '"';

Or this (convert number to string):

var obj = {position: 4};
for (var p in obj)
    obj[p] = obj[p].toString();

Answer 2

I don't think there is any function as such but you may do it with something like:

EDIT: If you don't know the property value, do like this:

var test=new Object();
test.position="4";
for (var prop in test) {
    test[prop]="\""+test[prop]+"\"";
      alert(prop + " = " + test[prop]);
   }

Answer 3

i go whith 4+"" as that castes it to a string.

but you probly wanner rethink Why you need to cast your number to a string.
