Maybe I'm getting this all mixed up, but reading about jQuery's serialize() method has gotten be confused. I normally use JSON.stringify() when I need to serialize an object for an AJAX request. Are these two methods similar in any way?

Reset to default 23JSON.stringify produces application/json data from a JavaScript object or array.
jQuery.serialize produces application/x-www-form-urlencoded data (the standard encoding for HTML form submissions) from a jQuery object containing an HTML Form Element or a set of form controls.
