How to use JSON.stringify() method In Typescript

Since TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, it also provides the JSON.stringify() method to convert a JavaScript object into a JSON string. It is the easiest and most concise way to convert a TypeScript dictionary to a string.

Syntax

let dictString: string = JSON.stringify(dictionary);

Example: The below code uses JSON.stringify() method to convert the TypeScript dictionary to a string.

Javascript
interface Dictionary {
    [key: string]: string;
}
let dictionary: Dictionary = {
    name: "w3wiki",
    desc: "A computer science portal",
    est: "2009",
};
let dictString: string =
    JSON.stringify(dictionary);
console.log(dictString);

Output:

"{"name":"w3wiki","desc":"A computer science portal","est":"2009"}"

Using a custom function

In this approach, we use the Object.entries() method along with a for-loop to convert a dictionary to a string. The Object.entries() method is used to extract the key-value pairs from an object. Here, we create a custom function to iterate through the key-value pairs of the dictionary and formatting each key-value pair into a string....

Using Object.keys() and Array.prototype.map()

In this approach we are using Object.keys() and Array.prototype.map() to iterate over dictionary keys, constructing an array of key-value pairs formatted as strings. This approach efficiently converts a TypeScript dictionary to a string representation....
