Question

I have the following json string:

{"nick":"person1", "text":"hello "}

I want to convert it into a object to access each variable.

I’ve tried the following:

var obj = $.parseJSON(text);
alert(obj.nick); 

Where text is the json string.

This gives and error “Illegal character”.

However, if i copy and paste the string itself and insert it into the parseJSON function it works..

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Answer 1

var object = {"nick":"person1", "text":"hello "};
console.log(object.nick);
