Create a sensible toJSON for a vjs object.

[gkatsev]

Would be nice if we were able to come up with a sensible output for a toJSON function so that when a user does JSON.stringify it doesn't throw on them.

Is there any other background we can provide around what use cases would cause someone to run into this issue?

The simplest option mentioned for this was to have it output a simple string like "video player".

@gkatsev this one isn't clear yet. Can you talk about what you want this to look like so another person could work on it? I think you originally just said to have it return a string with 'player' or something.

Would be nice if you could serialize player state out with this. Sources, Tracks, poster, control states, current player head position. Not sure how useful it would be, but it makes sense intuitively.

[gkatsev]

Not sure exactly what I had in mind originally but last night when I noticed it, I thought of something like what @EZWrighter said.

That works for me. Could one of you give some specific definition around it and provide and example, so anyone could jump in and work on it?
