Why not simple base 64?  This appears to work (at least with this very
simple array):

<html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var a=new Array(1,2,3,'a','b','c','d,e,f');
var ser=btoa(a);
var out=atob(ser);
</script>
</head>
<body>

<button onclick='alert(a)'>a</button><br>
<button onclick='alert(a.length)'>a.length</button><br>
<button onclick='alert(ser)'>ser</button><br>
<button onclick='alert(out)'>out</button><br>
<button onclick='alert(out.length)'>out.length</button><br>
