Temporal.Duration.prototype.toJSON() - JavaScript | MDN
Syntax
Parameters
None.
Return value
A string representing the given duration in the ISO 8601 format, with as much subsecond precision as necessary to represent the duration accurately.
Description
The toJSON() method is automatically called by JSON.stringify() when a Temporal.Duration object is stringified. This method is generally intended to, by default, usefully serialize Temporal.Duration objects during JSON serialization, which can then be deserialized using the Temporal.Duration.from() function as the reviver of JSON.parse().
Examples
Using toJSON()
js
const duration = Temporal.Duration.from({ hours: 1, minutes: 30, seconds: 15 });
const durationStr = duration.toJSON(); // 'PT1H30M15S'
const d2 = Temporal.Duration.from(durationStr);
JSON serialization and parsing
This example shows how Temporal.Duration can be serialized as JSON without extra effort, and how to parse it back.
js
const duration = Temporal.Duration.from({ hours: 1, minutes: 30, seconds: 15 });
const jsonStr = JSON.stringify({ data: duration }); // '{"data":"PT1H30M15S"}'
const obj = JSON.parse(jsonStr, (key, value) => {
if (key === "data") {
return Temporal.Duration.from(value);
}
return value;
});
