Piotr Zarzycki updated FLEX-35297:
----------------------------------
    Attachment: FlexJSJSONTest.zip

Add example project, which contains compiled sources in folder:

JS: target\javascript\bin\js-debug\
SWF: target\FlexJSTEst-0.8.0-SNAPSHOT.swf

> JSON.stringify is not working with object marked by Bindable

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: FlexJS
>    Affects Versions: Apache FlexJS 0.8.0, Apache FalconJX 0.8.0

> FlexJS is using JSON.stringify to produce json from value objects. 
> Two general issues has been discovered during development:
> 1) "stringify" function is not able to parse object which is marked by [Bindable] tag
> *Description:*
> In the attached example there is class Book which is marked by [Bindable] tag. During parsing we are getting stack trace:
> {code}
> Uncaught TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON
>     at JSON.stringify (<anonymous>)
> {code}
> This happened cause compiled VO object contains additional properties which "stringify" is not able to parse. (book_js_with_bindable.png)
>  
> 2) there are differences between swf and js sight in results of parsing by "stringify" function
> *JSON.stringify SWF:* 
> {
>     "authors":["Kitten","Puppy"],
>     "date":"Wed Apr 19 14:00:50 GMT-0500 2017",
>     "doNotHide":99,
>     "page":0,
>     "title":"Trump",
>     "topic":{"name":"Politics"},
>     "dedication":"Lucy"
> }
> *JSON.stringify JS:* 
> {
>      "topic":{},
>      "internalDate":"2017-04-19T21:30:27.959Z",
>      "title":"Trump",
>      "date":"2017-04-19T21:30:27.959Z",
>      "authors":["Kitten","Puppy"],
>      "_dedication":"Lucy"
> }
> *Expected results:*
> 1) We should be able to parse object with [Bindable] tag without any issues
> 2) SWF and JS stringify function should produce exact same json results.
> *Proposition:*
> - In order to avoid issues above VO should contains "toJSON" function.
> Example class with toJSON function:
> {code}
> [Bindable]
> public class Book
> {
>         public var title:String;
>         public var page:int;
>         public var date:Date;
>         public var authors:Array;
>         public var topic:Topic = new Topic();
>         public var doNotHide:uint = 99;
>         private var internalDate: Date = new Date();
> 		private var _dedication:String;
>         public function get dedication():String
>         {
>             return _dedication;
>         }
>         public function set dedication(value:String):void
>         {
>             _dedication = value;
>         }
> 		public function toJSON(k:String):Object
> 		{
> 			return {title: title,
> 				page: page,
> 				date: date,
> 				authors: authors,
> 				topic: {name: topic.name},
> 				doNotHide: doNotHide,
> 				internalDate: internalDate,
> 			    dedication: dedication};
> 		}
>  }
> {code}
