Build Json with Objects in Objects(JS)

Question

I want one json object but get multiple.

let example = {
  test1: '',
  test2: '',
  oTest: {
    oTest1: '',
    oTest2: ''
  },
  ooTest: {
    ooTest1: '',
    ooTest2: null,
  }
};

let result = JSON.stringify({
  example,
  'oTest': example.oTest,
  'ooTest': example.ooTest
});

console.log(JSON.stringify(example));

My Result is that i get 3 seperate Json Objects(example,oTest,ooTest) but my goal is to have 1 Json Object "example" including oTest and ooTest. Also "example" dont show oTest and ooTest.

Goal:

{
  "test1": "",
  "test2": "",
  "oTest": {
    "oTest1": "",
    "oTest2": ""
  },
  "ooTest": {
    "ooTest1": "",
    "ooTest2": ""
  }
}

What output are you expecting exactly? {test1:'', test2:'', oTest:''...} or {example: {test1:'' ...}} or what exactly? — mousetail

Your code is doing what JSON.stringify(example) would already do for you. What are you trying to achieve here? — connexo

is your goal ?? { "test1": "", "test2": "", "oTest1": "", "oTest2": "", "ooTest1": "", "ooTest2": null } coz it seems your expected result is same as your original object — Shubham Dixit

What you are doing doesn't make sense at all. Your expected result is returned by just passing example to JSON.stringify

JSON.stringify(example);

This dont work because it ignores oTest and ooTest and only shows "test1" and "test2"

JSON.stringify(Object.assign(example,{'oTest': example.oTest},{'ooTest': example.ooTest})

This is merge all the 3 object in one, and return back a stringified object.

This does exactly the same that JSON.stringify(example) does.
