Question

I would like to parse a varialbe name into a JSON string:

JSON:

{
    "items": [
        {
            "id": "2000",
            "buttons": [{
                "text": systemvar.continue,
            }]
        }
}

systemvar.continue is defined in Javascript.

How do I write the JSON code to use the Javascript variable?

Any ideas?

JSON is a safe, restricted subset of JavaScript’s syntax. If you want to allow any JavaScript syntax, including that which is potentially unsafe, use eval() instead of JSON.parse().
