Json Parse in Javascript
To decode a JSON-string, we need another method named JSON.parse
For instance:
1
2 let numbers="[0,1,2,3]";
3 numbers=JSON.parse(numbers)
4 alert(numbers[1])
5
Or for nested objects
1let userData = '{ "name": "John", "age": 35, "isAdmin": false, "friends": [0,1,2,3] }';
2 let user = JSON.parse(userData);
3 alert( user.friends[1] )
Reviver
Optional function(key,value) that will be called for each (key, value) pair and can transform the value
Using Reviver
Imagine, we got a stringified meetup object from the server. It looks like this:And now we need to deserialize it, to turn back into JavaScript object. Let’s do it by calling JSON.parse Let’s pass to JSON.parse the reviving function as the second argument, that returns all values “as is”, but date will become a Date :
1let str = '{"title":"Conference","date":"2017-11-30T12:00:00.000Z"}';
2 let meetup = JSON.parse(str, function(key, value) {
3 if (key == 'date') return new Date(value);
4 return value;
5 });
6 alert( meetup.date.getDate() );
1 let schedule = {
2 "meetups": [
3 {"title":"Conference","date":"2017-11-30T12:00:00.000Z"},
4 {"title":"Birthday","date":"2017-04-18T12:00:00.000Z"}
5 ]
6 };
7 schedule = JSON.parse(schedule, function(key, value) {
8 if (key == 'date') return new Date(value);
9 return value;
10 });
11 alert( schedule.meetups[1].date.getDate() );
