### JavaScript types

- {{jsxref("Array")}}
- {{jsxref("ArrayBuffer")}}
- {{jsxref("Boolean")}}
- {{jsxref("DataView")}}
- {{jsxref("Date")}}
- {{jsxref("Error")}} types (but see [Error types](#error_types) below).
- {{jsxref("Map")}}
- {{jsxref("Object")}} objects: but only plain objects (e.g. from object literals).
- [Primitive types](/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#primitive_values), except `symbol`.
- {{jsxref("RegExp")}}: but note that `lastIndex` is not preserved.
- {{jsxref("Set")}}
- {{jsxref("String")}}
- {{jsxref("TypedArray")}}

#### Error types

For `Error` types, the error name must be one of: {{jsxref("Error")}}, {{JSxRef("EvalError")}}, {{JSxRef("RangeError")}}, {{JSxRef("ReferenceError")}}, {{JSxRef("SyntaxError")}}, {{JSxRef("TypeError")}}, {{JSxRef("URIError")}} (or will be set to "Error").

Browsers must serialize the properties `name` and `message`, and are expected to serialize other "interesting" properties of the errors such as `stack`, `cause`, etc.

{{JSxRef("AggregateError")}} support is expected to be added to the specification in [whatwg/html#5749](https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/5749) (and is already supported in some browsers).

### Web/API types

- {{domxref("AudioData")}}
- {{domxref("Blob")}}
- {{domxref("CropTarget")}}
- {{domxref("CryptoKey")}}
- {{domxref("DOMException")}}: browsers must serialize the properties {{domxref("DOMException.name","name")}} and {{domxref("DOMException.message","message")}}. Other attributes may also be serialized/cloned.
- {{domxref("DOMMatrix")}}
- {{domxref("DOMMatrixReadOnly")}}
- {{domxref("DOMPoint")}}
- {{domxref("DOMPointReadOnly")}}
- {{domxref("DOMQuad")}}
- {{domxref("DOMRect")}}
- {{domxref("DOMRectReadOnly")}}
- {{domxref("File")}}
- {{domxref("FileList")}}
- {{domxref("FileSystemDirectoryHandle")}}
- {{domxref("FileSystemFileHandle")}}
- {{domxref("FileSystemHandle")}}
- {{domxref("GPUCompilationInfo")}}
- {{domxref("GPUCompilationMessage")}}
- {{domxref("ImageBitmap")}}
- {{domxref("ImageData")}}
- {{domxref("RTCCertificate")}}
- {{domxref("VideoFrame")}}
