<dl><dt>Syntax</dt><dd><code>simplify(&#x2A;Object&#x2A; object, [&#x2A;Object&#x2A; options])</code></dd><dt>Parameters</dt><dd><ul><li>object — <a href="/Neft-io/neft/wiki/Utils-API#isobject">Object</a></li><li>options — <a href="/Neft-io/neft/wiki/Utils-API#isobject">Object</a> — <i>optional</i></li></ul></dd></dl>
Convert the given object into the most simplified format with no cyclic references and more.

Such object can be easily stringified later using standard *JSON.stringify()*.

Use utils.assemble() function to restore the object into the initial structure.

Second parameter is an config object (all 'false' by default):
  - *properties* - save properties descriptors (getters, config etc.),
  - *protos* - save protos as objects,
  - *constructors* - include constructor functions.

```javascript
var obj = {};
obj.self = obj;
console.log(JSON.stringify(utils.simplify(obj)));
```

If *protos* is *false* and *constructors* is *true*,
object will be recognized as an instance.

```javascript
function Sample(){
  this.fromInstance = 1;
}
Sample.prototype.fromPrototype = 1;

var sample = new Sample;
var parts = utils.simplify(sample, {constructors: true});
var clone = utils.assemble(json);

console.log(clone instanceof Sample)
// it's true because 'protos' option is false and 'constructors' is true
// won't work for json, because functions are not stringified ...
```
