formatting json data to be camelCased

Question

I get a json response from the server that looks something like this:

{
    \"Response\": {
        \"FirstName\": \"John\",
        \"LastName\": \"Smith\",
            


        

Answer 1

The approach that user '@I Hate Lazy' suggested - using a 'reviver' function is - the right one. However his function didn't work for me.

Perhaps it is because I'm parsing a JSON array. Also I use Resharper and it complained about a code smell :) ('not all code paths return a value'). So I ended up using a function from another SO issue which did work for me:

function camelCaseReviver(key, value) {
    if (value && typeof value === 'object') {
        for (var k in value) {
            if (/^[A-Z]/.test(k) && Object.hasOwnProperty.call(value, k)) {
                value[k.charAt(0).toLowerCase() + k.substring(1)] = value[k];
                delete value[k];
            }
        }
    }
    return value;
}
