Question

I am ajaxing a page and on success I have following code:

success: function(html){
var product_json = [];
data=$(html);

$(".product_json", data).each(function(){
      product_json.push( jQuery.parseJSON( $(this).html() ) );
});
....
//code continue 

My Json looks like:

{
  "item_logoagenzia": "/resource/loghi/medium/13.gif",
  "item_description": "Some Bernini ven.."
}

It works fine if I have some chars like double quotes it stopped working.

Error Json looks like:

 {
  "item_logoagenzia": "/resource/loghi/medium/13.gif",
  "item_description": "Some "Bernini" ven.."
}

I do not have control over json creation. How to modify it or remove special characters like double qoutes in script given above?

Answer 1

I have done it. I modified my code:

$(".product_json", data).each(function(){
  product_json.push( jQuery.parseJSON( $(this).html() ) );
});

to

$(".product_json", data).each(function(){
var myString = $(this).html().split('"item_description":"');

var myStringDesc = myString[1]; //split the string into two

myStringDesc = myStringDesc.substring(0, myStringDesc.length - 2);

myStringDesc = escapeHtml(myStringDesc);//escapeHtml is just function for removing special chars

var myNewString = eval( '('+ myString[0]+'"item_description":"'+ myStringDesc+'"}'+')');

myNewString = JSON.stringify(myNewString);

product_json.push( jQuery.parseJSON( myNewString ) );
 });

I am not sure about efficiency of the code but it looks like it works fine.
