- JSON produces DAG. DAG stands for Directed Acyclic Graph, which means that the object which is being serialized can't have circular references. This is a big limitation because the application state is often circular. Qwik ensures that when the graph of objects gets serialized, the circular references get properly saved and then restored.
- JSON can't serialize some object types. For example, DOM references, Dates, etc... Qwik serialization format ensures that such objects can correctly be serialized and restored. Here is a list of types that can be serialized with Qwik:
- DOM references
- Dates (not yet implemented)
- Function closures (if wrapped in QRL).
- Promises (See [resources](../../components/resource/))
- Function closures (if wrapped in QRL)
- Dates
- `URL` objects
- `Map` and `Set` instances

Limitations of JSON that Qwik does not solve:

- Serialization of classes (`instanceof` and prototype)
- Serialization of `Promise`s, Streams, etc...
- Although some built-in classes, such as [Date](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date), [URL](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL), [Map](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Map), [Set](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Set) are supported.
- Serialization of Streams, etc...
