Given a string of JSON data, how can I safely turn that string into a JavaScript object?
Obviously I can do this unsafely with something like:
var obj = eval("(" + json + ')');
but that leaves me vulnerable to the JSON string containing other code, which it seems very dangerous to simply eval.
JSON.parse(jsonString)is a pure JavaScript approach so long as you can guarantee a reasonably modern browser.
