Question

I have a file called “config.json” which have

{
    "book": {
        "config": {
            "uuid": "81393fe88f7c4e5a98070905790b39e1",
            "type": "fullscreen",
            "size": "1024,768"
                  }
             }
}

then I use $.ajax to read this file,

    $.ajax({
        url:...,
        data:{...},
        type:"get",
        dataType:'json',
        success:function(data, textStatus){
            console.log(data);
        }
    })

but the data return is string format like:

"{\n "book": {\n ... }\n }\n }\n}"

then I want parse the data into json,but all the parse function couldn’t work,

var obj=$.parseJSON(data);

but the result is “null”

then I want use “jquery.json-2.3.js”

console.log(data.toJSON());

but the result is data.toJSON is not a function

How can I solve this problem?parse the string to json

Answer 1

jQuery automatically parses the response if you specify the dataType so calling

var obj=$.parseJSON(data);

returns an error
