PerformanceNavigationTiming: toJSON() method
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since October 2021.
The toJSON() method of the PerformanceNavigationTiming interface is a serializer; it returns a JSON representation of the PerformanceNavigationTiming object.
Syntax
js
toJSON()
Parameters
None.
Return value
A JSON object that is the serialization of the PerformanceNavigationTiming object.
Examples
Using the toJSON method
In this example, calling entry.toJSON() returns a JSON representation of the PerformanceNavigationTiming object.
js
const observer = new PerformanceObserver((list) => {
list.getEntries().forEach((entry) => {
console.log(entry.toJSON());
});
});
observer.observe({ entryTypes: ["navigation"] });
This would log a JSON object like so:
json

To get a JSON string, you can use JSON.stringify(entry) directly; it will call toJSON() automatically.
