JSON对象解析以及如何转义unicode字符

Question

I'm fairly new to javascript and such so I don't know if this will be worded correctly, but I'm trying to parse a JSON object that I read from a database. I send the html page the variable from a python script using Django where the variable looks like this:

{
  "data":{
    "nodes":[
      {
        "id":"n0",
        "label":"Redditor(user_name='awesomeasianguy')"
      },
      ...
    ]
  }
}

Currently, the response looks like:

"{u'data': {u'nodes': [{u'id': u'n0', u'label': u"Redditor(user_name='awesomeasianguy')"}, ...

I tried to take out the characters like u&#39 with a replaceAll type statement as seen below. This however is not that easy of a solution and it seems like there has got to be a better way to escape those characters.

var networ_json = JSON.parse("{{ networ_json }}".replace(/u'/g, '"').replace(/'/g, '"').replace(/u"/g, '"').replace(/"/g, '"'));

If there are any suggestions on a method I'm not using or even a tool to use for this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Use the template filter "|safe" to disable escaping, like,

var networ_json = JSON.parse("{{ networ_json|safe }}";
