I have a page where I am trying to parse following json string using JSON.parse
'[{"Name":"Eggs","Complete":false,"Notes":"Notes here\n"},{"Name":"Sugar","Complete":false,"Notes":null}]'
But following code gives error "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token"
var groceriesJson = JSON.parse(jsonString);
Then I came to know that its because of \n
in json string. So I did try this solution. But no luck. Still same error "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token"
function escapeSpecialChars(jsonString) {
return jsonString.replace(/\\n/g, "\\n")
.replace(/\\'/g, "\\'")
.replace(/\\"/g, '\\"')
.replace(/\\&/g, "\\&")
.replace(/\\r/g, "\\r")
.replace(/\\t/g, "\\t")
.replace(/\\b/g, "\\b")
.replace(/\\f/g, "\\f");
}
var groceriesJson = JSON.parse(escapeSpecialChars(jsonString));
Any ideas? Thanks
---UPDATE----
I am not creating this string manually, I have c# codes that creates json string from c# objects
var jss = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer();
var groceries = jss.Serialize(Model);
then in javascript codes I have
var jsonString = '@Html.Raw(groceries)'
var groceriesJson = JSON.parse(escapeSpecialChars(jsonString));
