Unable to solve error “ Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token o ”

Question

I am currently practicing using Javascript/Dojo. However, I have an error that I am unable to solve:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token o

That's because you are parsing a plain object, and not a string, as expected. In this case you just have to:

alert(jsonData.list[1].Name);

In this case, to use the JSON.parse method you should've been using this string:

var stringifiedJson = var data = "{"+
    "\"list\": {"+
        "\"1\": {"+
            "\"Relevance\": \"Low\","+
            "\"id\": 1,"+
            "\"Name\": \"Inorganic\""+
        "},"+
        "\"2\": {"+
            "\"Relevance\": \"Low\","+
            "\"id\": 2,"+
            "\"Name\": \"Mobile\""+
        "}"+
    "}"+
"}";

var jsonData = JSON.parse(stringifiedJson);
alert(jsonData.list[1].Name);
