Sulla base delle altre risposte finisco con il seguente codice. Funziona abbastanza bene con riferimenti circolari, oggetti con costruttori personalizzati.
Dall'oggetto dato da serializzare,
- Memorizza nella cache tutti gli oggetti che incontri mentre attraversi l'oggetto e assegna a ciascuno di essi un hashID univoco (funziona anche un numero a incremento automatico)
- Una volta trovato un riferimento circolare, contrassegnare quel campo nel nuovo oggetto come circolare e memorizzare l'hashID dell'oggetto originale come attributo.

Esempio di utilizzo 1:
var obj = {
id:201,
box: {
owner: null,
key: 'storm'
},
lines:[
'item1',
23
]
};
console.log(obj); // ORIGINAL
// SERIALIZE AND THEN PARSE
var jsonObj = DJS.stringify(obj);
console.log(DJS.parse(jsonObj));
Esempio di utilizzo 2:
// PERSON OBJECT
function Person() {
this.name = null;
this.child = null;
this.dad = null;
this.mom = null;
}
var Dad = new Person();
Dad.name = 'John';
var Mom = new Person();
Mom.name = 'Sarah';
var Child = new Person();
Child.name = 'Kiddo';
Dad.child = Mom.child = Child;
Child.dad = Dad;
Child.mom = Mom;
console.log(Child); // ORIGINAL
// SERIALIZE AND THEN PARSE
var jsonChild = DJS.stringify(Child);
console.log(DJS.parse(jsonChild));
