Can I execute script from json file

Question

Can I execute script from json file? For example:

helloworld.json
{
"script" : "console.log('helloworld');"
}

I want to run the script in the json file in my html or js file.

Answer 1

Point eval to the string to execute it as code

var json = {"script":"console.log('helloworld');"}
eval(json["script"])

Answer 2

Yes, you have to:

1. Load your json file
2. Execute the script using eval()

Whether that's a good idea or not though depends on your specific use case.
