toJSON or JSON.stringify is unresponsive

[adefokun]

When I call toJSON or JSON.stringify in Javascript SDK the application becomes unresponsive.

Can you provide code that reproduces this? Also, information on the environment would be helpful (node.js vs browser, which version)

Thank you.

        Parse.Cloud.run('getAttendees', {},{
            success: function(d){ 
                var data = JSON.stringify(d);
            },
            error: function(error){
            }
        });

"parse-server": "^2.3.6",
"express": "^4.13.4",
"node": "4.4",

No errors are indicated but the application becomes unresponsive, every time.

I think it goes into an infinite loop.

I notice there are recursive loops because the server now automatically include all pointers. How can this functionality be disabled so that I can manually include pointers that I want included in a query?

[adefokun]

I closed the issue thinking the problem was with parse-server. I noticed that the details of pointers in arrays are included by default, I did not have to use "include" and the server actually returned pointers, but the SDK populated them with details.

var interestAreasQuery = new Parse.Query("InterestArea");
interestAreasQuery.find().then(function(result){
   console.log(result);
}}

IntrestedArea has an interest key, which is an array of pointers. The details of each pointer is included. And because interest has a pointer interestedArea, the pointer details is also included and the leads to infinite loop. In a situation like this JSON.stringify(result) renders the application unresponsive.
