alert( Ajax.toJson( obj));

---

each( Array|Object obj, Function callback[, Boolean clean])

Implements a loop-run over the passed object or array, applying to each iteration passed callback function. Last optional argument clean - is a flag which turns on/off callback call on extended by library properties and methods.
Example:    [run]

var obj = { x : 10, y : 11 };
Ajax.each( obj, function( key){
    alert( key + ' = ' + obj[key]);
