Question

I am creating a script that parses the “rel” attribute of an anchor tag for a JSON String of settings. I am currently using something like this code to convert the string into a JavaScript Object:

var settings = new Function("return " + relAttribute);

Is this a good way to parse a JSON String?

Answer 1

I would recommend you json2.js and the JSON.parse method. Example:

var settings = JSON.parse('{ "key1": "value1", "key2": "value2" }');
alert(settings.key2);
