Convert string to JSON Object

Question

How do I convert string to object? I am facing this problem because I am trying to read the elements in the JSON string using \"each\".

My string is given below.

Answer 1

Your string is not valid. Double quots cannot be inside double quotes. You should escape them:

"{\"TeamList\" : [{\"teamid\" : \"1\",\"teamname\" : \"Barcelona\"}]}"

or use single quotes and double quotes

'{"TeamList" : [{"teamid" : "1","teamname" : "Barcelona"}]}'

Answer 2

only with js

   JSON.parse(jsonObj);

reference

Answer 3

Enclose the string in single quote it should work. Try this.

var jsonObj = '{"TeamList" : [{"teamid" : "1","teamname" : "Barcelona"}]}';
var obj = $.parseJSON(jsonObj);

Demo

Answer 4

try:

var myjson = '{"TeamList" : [{"teamid" : "1","teamname" : "Barcelona"}]}';
var newJ= $.parseJSON(myjson);
    alert(newJ.TeamList[0].teamname);

Answer 5

Quick answer, this eval work:

eval('var obj = {"TeamList" : [{"teamid" : "1","teamname" : "Barcelona"}]}')

Answer 6

Without eval:

Your original string was not an actual string.

jsonObj = "{"TeamList" : [{"teamid" : "1","teamname" : "Barcelona"}]}"

The easiest way to to wrap it all with a single quote.

 jsonObj = '"{"TeamList" : [{"teamid" : "1","teamname" : "Barcelona"}]}"'

Then you can combine two steps to parse it to JSON:

 $.parseJSON(jsonObj.slice(1,-1))
