If you're using Ember Model, you do model.toJSON(). If you are trying to get values from the model you should use the getter model.get('name').

In javascript to create a JSON out of javascript object you may want to use:

JSON.stringify({name: "John"}); // => "{"name":"John"}"

It works pretty good for plain Ember.Objects. But you may not want to stringify all properties of given object. In such case you should use getProperties method of EmberObject. For example:

var john = Ember.Object.create({firstName: "John", lastName: "Doe", title: "CEO"});
JSON.stringify(john); // => "{"firstName":"John","lastName":"Doe", "title": "CEO"}"

var namesOnly = john.getProperties("firstName","lastName");
JSON.stringify(namesOnly); // => "{"firstName":"John","lastName":"Doe"}"
