Question

I have a json object returned from a third party api, it looks like:

{"version":"1.0","encoding":"UTF-8"}

I’m going to be working on my project without a network connection, so I have to do everything locally. How can I create an instance of a json object locally for testing? Say I copy the above string, can I do something like:

var json = null;
if (debugging_locally) {
    json = new jsonObj('{"version":"1.0","encoding":"UTF-8"}');
}
else {
    json = doAjaxCall();
}

doStuffWithJsonObj(json);

so I just want to create a json object from a stored string if debugging locally – how can I do that?

Thanks

Simple as this:

if (debugging_locally) {
    json = {"version":"1.0","encoding":"UTF-8"};
}
