用json.parse解析

Question

i'm trying to use javascript/json.parse to parse some information in json.

here is an example code in which i am using it.

var jsontext = '{"place": Jamaica}';
var countries = JSON.parse(jsontext);
document.write(countries.place);

That format does not work.

if i manually alter the json text to

var jsontext = '{"place": "Jamaica"}';
var countries = JSON.parse(jsontext);
document.write(countries.place);

I get the result Jamaica which works. unfortunately the way i get the information does not have the quotation marks around Jamaica .

If you need to do this a lot how about a function to wrap the text in quotes.

function wrapInQuotes (str) {
    return '"' + str + '"';
}

If you need it inline:

(function (str) {return '"' + str + '"';}('string'));
