Limited availability

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The toJSON() method of the TaskAttributionTiming interface returns a JSON-serializable plain object representing the TaskAttributionTiming object.
The method is automatically called by JSON.stringify() when a TaskAttributionTiming object is encountered during JSON serialization.
Syntax
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 a TaskAttributionTiming object. Calling toJSON() directly returns a plain object. Its properties have the same values as the corresponding properties of the original object.
const observer = new PerformanceObserver((list) => {
list.getEntries().forEach((entry) => {
entry.attribution.forEach((attribution) => {
const json = attribution.toJSON();
console.log(json); // A plain object
console.log(typeof json); // "object"
console.log(json.containerType); // Same value as attribution.containerType
});
});
});
observer.observe({ type: "longtask", buffered: true });
Serializing to a JSON string
Within the callback from the previous example, the same object can be serialized using JSON.stringify(), which calls the toJSON() method automatically.
console.log(JSON.stringify(attribution));
This would log a JSON string like so (formatted for readability):
{
"name": "unknown",
"entryType": "taskattribution",
"startTime": 0,
"duration": 0,
"navigationId": 2463,
"containerType": "window",
"containerSrc": "",
"containerId": "",
"containerName": ""
}
