How to create JSON string in JavaScript?

Question

window.onload = function(){
    var obj = \'{
            \"name\" : \"Raj\",
            \"age\"  : 32,
            \"married\" : false
            }\';

    var va         


        

Answer 1

The way i do it is:

   var obj = new Object();
   obj.name = "Raj";
   obj.age  = 32;
   obj.married = false;
   var jsonString= JSON.stringify(obj);

I guess this way can reduce chances for errors.

Answer 2

Use JSON.stringify:

> JSON.stringify({ asd: 'bla' });
'{"asd":"bla"}'

Answer 3

json strings can't have line breaks in them. You'd have to make it all one line: {"key":"val","key2":"val2",etc....}.

But don't generate JSON strings yourself. There's plenty of libraries that do it for you, the biggest of which is jquery.

Answer 4

This can be pretty easy and simple

var obj = new Object();
obj.name = "Raj";
obj.age = 32;
obj.married = false;

//convert object to json string
var string = JSON.stringify(obj);

//convert string to Json Object
console.log(JSON.parse(string)); // this is your requirement.

Answer 5

I think this way helps you...

var name=[];
var age=[];
name.push('sulfikar');
age.push('24');
var ent={};
for(var i=0;i<name.length;i++)
{
ent.name=name[i];
ent.age=age[i];
}
JSON.Stringify(ent);

Answer 6

Javascript doesn't handle Strings over multiple lines.

You will need to concatenate those:

var obj = '{'
       +'"name" : "Raj",'
       +'"age"  : 32,'
       +'"married" : false'
       +'}';

You can also use template literals in ES6 and above: (See here for the documentation)

var obj = `{
           "name" : "Raj",
           "age" : 32,
           "married" : false,
           }`;
