AudioPlaybackStats: toJSON() method

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The toJSON() method of the AudioPlaybackStats interface returns a JSON-serializable plain object representing the AudioPlaybackStats object.

The method is automatically called by JSON.stringify() when an AudioPlaybackStats object is encountered during JSON serialization.

Syntax

js
toJSON()

Parameters

None.

Return value

A JSON-serializable plain object containing the following properties:

Each property's value is copied as-is.

Examples

Calling toJSON() directly

This example obtains an AudioPlaybackStats object from an audio context. Calling toJSON() directly returns a plain object. Its properties have the same values as the corresponding properties of the original object.

js
const audioCtx = new AudioContext();
const stats = audioCtx.playbackStats;

// ...

const json = stats.toJSON();
console.log(json); // A plain object
console.log(typeof json); // "object"
console.log(json.underrunEvents); // Same value as stats.underrunEvents

Serializing to a JSON string

The AudioPlaybackStats object from the previous example is serialized using JSON.stringify(), which calls the toJSON() method automatically.

js
console.log(JSON.stringify(stats));

This would log a JSON string like so (formatted for readability):

json
{
  "underrunDuration": 0.125,
  "underrunEvents": 1,
  "totalDuration": 68.252138,
  "averageLatency": 0.01863,
  "minimumLatency": 0.01,
  "maximumLatency": 0.018654
}
