Whats wrong with this JSON syntax?

Question

Am trying this on my chrome debugger console, and am getting a SyntaxError;

JSON.parse("[{"name":"gath","age":10}]");
>SyntaxError

What is the correct way of parsing the JSON string? Please note this question is a follow up to my earlier one, which am yet to get an answer!

Answer 1

You need to escape your double-quotes.

JSON.parse("[{\"name\":\"gath\",\"age\":10}]");

or, for better readabilty, define the string with single quotes:

JSON.parse('[{"name":"gath","age":10}]');

Answer 2

JSON.parse("[{\"name\":\"gath\",\"age\":10}]");

You cant have double quotes inside double quotes

Answer 3

You need to escape the " or do JSON.parse('[{"name":"gath","age":10}]');

Answer 4

Enclose it in single quotes and it will parse correctly.

JSON.parse('[{"name":"gath","age":10}]');


Object
age: 10
name: "gath"
__proto__: Object

Answer 5

Replace

JSON.parse("[{"name":"gath","age":10}]");

With

JSON.parse('[{"name":"gath","age":10}]');
