Question

Am trying this on my chrome debugger console, and am getting a SyntaxError;

JSON.parse("[{"name":"gath","age":10}]");
>SyntaxError

What is the correct way of parsing the JSON string?
Please note this question is a follow up to my earlier one, which am yet to get an answer!

Answer 1

You need to escape your double-quotes.

JSON.parse("[{\"name\":\"gath\",\"age\":10}]");

or, for better readabilty, define the string with single quotes:

JSON.parse('[{"name":"gath","age":10}]');
