js2str([ 10, 20, 30 ], 16, 0); // [0xa,0x14,0x28]
js2str({ a: 1 }); // {a:1}

style samples

' #, # # '

var style = ' #, # # ';
render([ 1, 2, 3 ], style); // '[ 1, 2, 3 ]'
render([ 1 ], style); // '[ 1 ]'
render([ ], style); // '[ ]'
render({ a:1, b:2, c:3 }, style); // '{ a:1, b:2, c:3 }'
render({ a:1 }, style); // '{ a:1 }'
render({ }, style); // '{ }'

'#,##'

var style = '#,##';
render([ 1, 2, 3 ], style); // '[1,2,3]'
render([ 1 ], style); // '[1]'
render([ ], style); // '[]'
render({ a:1, b:2, c:3 }, style); // '{a:1,b:2,c:3}'
render({ a:1 }, style); // '{a:1}'
render({ }, style); // '{}'

'\n+#,\n+#\n=# '

Where the '+' symbol means next level of indentation.

var style = '\n+#,\n+#\n=# ';
render([ 1, 2, 3 ], style, '', ' '); // '[\n 1,\n 2,\n 3\n]'
render([ 1 ], style); // '[\n 1\n]'
render([ ], style); // '[ ]'
render({ a:1, b:2, c:3 }, style); // '{\n a:1,\n b:2,\n c:3\n}'
render({ a:1 }, style); // '{\n a:1\n}'
render({ }, style); // '{ }'
