JSON file is valid but I can't parse it

Question

The valid JSON file below:

{
"response": {
    "player_count": 6453,
    "result": 1
}
}

When I use the console.log(req.responseText) command I get:

{
"response": {
    "player_count": 6453,
    "result": 1
}
}

When using the following from my Node server (by sending the JSON file to it) All I get is [object Object] when using the code below: This is where the problem lies I think.

app.post('/steam-output', function(req,res){
var params = [];
for (var p in req.body){
params.push({'name':p,'value':req.body[p]})
}
console.log(params);
console.log(req.body);
var context = {};
context.dataList = params;
res.render('steam-output', context);
// steam-output is a handlebars file which is what my Node.js server is running
});

//here is the steam-output.handlebars file
<h1></h1>
<ul>
{{#each dataList}}
   <li>{{this.name}}: {{this.value}}
{{/each}}
</ul>

And it also just comes up with [object Object]. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated (please no links to other sites unless they have thorough examples of fixing this).

This problem doesn't happen if it is just this JSON file:

 {
    "player_count": 6453,
    "result": 1
 }

Answer 1

I think you're just iterating the wrong part of the JSON. What happens if you change your for in loop to this?

for (var p in req.body.response){
    params.push({'name':p,'value':req.body.response[p]})
}

Try below code

var esr = { 
   "response":{  
      "player_count":6453,
      "result":1
   }
}

var responseText = (JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(esr)));
alert(responseText.response.player_count); //out put 6453
