How to Convert Esri.Map object to json

GyanendraAgnihotri — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:23:31 GMT

hi,
i have created a map object using Esri.Map namespace, and added some layer(ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer, graphic layer etc)
to the map object like
map.addLayer(new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/ESRI_StreetMap_World_2D/MapServer"));

now i want to convert map object to json since i want to add this map to 'arcGis online portal' using arcGis online api rest services addItem.
any kind of help would be greatly appreciated
thanks..

I'm trying to achieve the exact same thing. Did you ever find a solution?

Or is there anyone who is able to do this?

This JSAPI team plans to add this capability in 4.0.

For a JSAIPI 3.x stop gap you can try Cereal (https://github.com/swingley/cereal) if you have a simple map, but it is very incomplete and not actively maintained.
