Question

In my .js have a string

var jdata ="[{\"name\":\"John\"}]"

I want to convert it to [{“name”:”John”}].

I tried the following but fail

jdata = jdata.replace("\"","\"")
jdata = jdata.replace("\\"","\"")
jdata = jdata.replace("\\\"","\"")

What is the right way to replace?

Answer 1

If you want it to become an object just do this:

JSON.parse(jdata);

The result will be [{"name":"John"}] objectified.

Otherwise, you already have the job done. If you try to print "[{\"name\":\"John\"}]" you will see that has no \ character as it is an escape character.
