Question

I have the below JSON string:

var billjson = "({'posts' : [{'Id' :'      7553','Code' :'1186 ','Address' :' GGGG 39Α                    ','Name' : ' GGGG NAME 3                               ','Description' : ' G 3    ','EntrySeason' : ' GGGGG 08-09      ','Period' : ' 10/2009   ','Revenue' : '      4.10'},{'Id' :'      7553','Code' :'1186 ','Address' :' GGGG 39Α                    ','Name' : ' FFFF NAME 3                               ','Description' : ' F 3    ','EntrySeason' : ' FFFF 08-09      ','Period' : ' 10/2009   ','Revenue' : '      4.10'}]})"

and I’m trying to create a JSON object using the code:

var mybilljson = jQuery.parseJSON( billjson );

but the result at the console is:

Uncaught Invalid JSON:

Why?

Answer 1

String literals and property names have to use double-quotes in JSON, but you’re using single quotes. The parentheses aren’t allowed to be there either.
