Parse Array of JSON objects in NodeJS

Question

I am wondering how can I parse Array of JSON objects in NodeJS?

I want to post JSON array to the server, and be able to use the received array as a regualar JavaScri

I'll try to explain this. First of all, you are crating a json string on the client.

JSON.stringify(QuestionsArray)

Then on the server, you are doing the same again:

JSON.stringify(req.toString()) // this is not needed

Then you parse the double stringifyed json string to a javascript object:

JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(req.toString()))

So now you actually have to parse it twice :). If you just stringify it on the server as you are now, and just call:

var arr = JSON.parse(req.toString());

You will get a javascript object that you can access like this:

res.end(arr[0].QuestionText.toString());

Have a look at this jsFiddle and open your developer tools. Look at the console when it runs and you will see where the problem is: example
