SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unexpected identifier “object” when trying to parse json

Question

I'm getting errors when trying to parse a string to json

here is my String

{"location": " Antoine Vallasois Ave, Vacoas-Phoenix, England", "stopover":true}

and here is my javascript function

 function fillWaypoints(location){ var ob =JSON.parse(location); ArrayWaypoints.push(ob) } 

Answer 1

There are some issues here:

1. location is a keyword in JavaScript, you cannot pass that as parameter to a function.

2. location value " Antoine Vallasois Ave, Vacoas-Phoenix, England", "stopover":true is not a valid JSON, so it will give you an error.

3. You didn't declare ArrayWaypoints .

You can try the following way:

 var loc = {"location": " Antoine Vallasois Ave, Vacoas-Phoenix, England", "stopover":true} var ArrayWaypoints = []; function fillWaypoints(loc){ loc.location.split(',').forEach(function(l){ ArrayWaypoints.push(l.trim()); }); } fillWaypoints(loc); console.log(ArrayWaypoints); 

Answer 2

Hey Please Note Here You are trying to parse Json.. You have to pass string in JSON.parse() function because JSON.parse can only parse string into json:-

var a = '{"location": " Antoine Vallasois Ave Vacoas-Phoenix England", "stopover":true}'

let ArrayWaypoints = [];

function fillWaypoints(location){
    var ob =JSON.parse(location);
    ArrayWaypoints.push(ob)

}
