Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token c JSON.parse

Question

I'm getting an uncaught Syntax Error when I try to parse a JSON string , I'm not sure why it is failing. I've tested the JSON string and it is valid.

Can someone please help me with this issue.

My code snippet (in chrome) is as follows:

var input = 'c:out escapeXml="false" value="[{"registeredCustomers":"81","node":"RAGS"},{"registeredCustomers":"39","node":"SBSA"}]" />';
var arr1 = [];
obj1 = JSON.parse(input);

Answer 1

You have to do

input = input.replace("c:out escapeXml='false' value='", "")

and then JSON.parse(input);

Answer 2

Json.parse expect the string. You can try this:

   var input = '[{\"registeredCustomers":"81","node":"RAGS"},      
   "registeredCustomers":"39","node":"SBSA"\}]';
   var arr1 = [];
   obj1 = JSON.parse(input);
   console.log(obj1);

it will return the following output:

[Object, Object, $family: function, $constructor: function, each: function, clone: function, clean: function…]
0: Object
node: "RAGS"
registeredCustomers: "81"
__proto__: Object
1: Object
node: "SBSA"
registeredCustomers: "39"
__proto__: Object
length: 2
__proto__: Array[0]

Answer 3

You are getting that error Unexpected token c JSON.parse due to the multiple time usage of quote in the input. And the error message is pointing to starting of the line.

value="[{"registeredCustomers":"81","node":"RAGS"},{"registeredCustomers":"39","node":"SBSA"}]"
