json parse error with double quotes

Question

A double quote even if escaped is throwing parse error.
look at the code below

//parse the json in javascript  
var testJson = \'{\"result\": [\"lunch\",         


        

Answer 1

Well, finally, JSON's parse uses the same eval, so there's no difference when you give them smth. with incorrect syntax. In this case you have to escape correctly your quotes in php, and then escape them and their escaping slashes with json_encode

OUTPUT: "{\"result\": [\"lunch\", \"\\\"Show\\\"\"] }"

This should work on client-side JS (if I've made no typos).
