javascript json parsing printing

I've got a javascript object which has been JSON parsed using JSON.parse I now want to print the object so I can debug it (something is going wrong with the function). When I do the following...

for (property in obj) {
    output += property + ': ' + obj[property]+'; ';
}
console.log(output);

I get multiple [object Object]'s listed. I'm wondering how would I print this in order to view the contents?

You know what JSON stands for? JavaScript Object Notation. It makes a pretty good format for objects.

JSON.stringify(obj) will give you back a string representation of the object.
