Serializes the data into a string. Think of it as a JSON.stringify on steroids.
In opposite to JSON.stringify it supports serializing undefined.
It also supports custom serializers, which can be used to serialize custom data types. Each value has a prefix which
specifies the type of the value, custom serializers is a map of these prefixes to functions which can serialize the
value into a string. IMPORTANT: Because this is using JSON.serialize under the hood if a value to serialize includes
toJSON it won't trigger custom serializer but will be serialized as string. Date class defines toJSON method!
The extra aim of this function is to produce the same output for "the same" data, regardless of the order of the keys
(which is not guaranteed by JS spec, but in practice it is guaranteed by current implementations of all JS engines),
so it sorts the keys and when serializing data by default, you can opt-out of this behavior by passing
{ sortProps: false } as the third argument.
