Serialised Error
This module attempts to convert an error object into a regular JavaScript object. This is useful if an error object has to be stored and operated upon.
Usage
var SerialisedError = require('serialised-error');
// assuming you have an error
var someError = new Error("This is a test error");
// convert the error to object (new operator is optional)
var serialisedError = new SerialisedError(someError);
// convert the serialised error to JSON
console.log(JSON.parse(serialisedError));
// this outputs:
// {"name": "Error", "message": "This is a test error", "stack": "Error\n at ..."}
