JavaScript has native JSON support with JSON.parse() for parsing and JSON.stringify() for serialization.

Parsing JSON

JSON.parse(jsonString) converts a JSON string to a JavaScript object. Always wrap in try-catch to handle malformed JSON.

Stringifying Objects

JSON.stringify(obj, replacer, space) converts objects to JSON. The space parameter adds formatting for readability.

Common Pitfalls

JSON doesn't support undefined, functions, or circular references. Handle Date objects carefully as they become strings.
