Question

I am receiving json-datas which is 100% correct formatted json data.

My problem is,

when I run the following code it works:

var data = {"datas":[{"matts":{"active":"1","status":"off"},"config":null,"adapters":[]}}]};

console.dir(data); // it works.

but when I receive the same data on socket.io like following code, its not working:

_liveSock.on('sm', function(data)
{
    console.log(data); // I am receiving the data correctly. 
    console.dir(data); // But I cant display the data.
});

Both codes are almost the same logic, only the second one is received dynamically.

When I try to use console.dir(data); on second code, it gives this error:

there is no kind object

(btw. I am using Firefox/Firebug)

Is there another method or way to use dynamically received json datas?

Thank you!

You can’t use console.dir() until you have parsed the value.

console.dir(JSON.parse(data));

The JSON facility is not available in older browsers. You can find parsers online.
