Parsing a JSON string to an array

Question

I am trying to parse this JSON string:

var string = '{"DataSerialized":{"DocumentElement":{"NAME_LIST":"FIELD_1":"VALUE_1","FIELD_2":"VALUE2","FIELD_3":"VALUE_3"}}}}';

how a JSON object how this:

{
    "DataSerialized":{
        "DocumentElement":{
            "NAME_LIST":{
                "FIELD_1":"VALUE_1",
                "FIELD_2":"VALUE2",
                "FIELD_3":"VALUE_3"
            }
        }
    }
}

For that, I tried with jQuery.parseJSON(string) but the result is wrong:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: expected ',' or '}' after property value in object at line 1 column 60 of the JSON data

I think that it's a problem with quotes, but I don't know what's wrong exactly

Thanks in advance

SOLUTION: { after NAME_LIST

var string = '{"DataSerialized":{"DocumentElement":{"NAME_LIST":{"FIELD_1":"VALUE_1","FIELD_2":"VALUE2","FIELD_3":"VALUE_3"}}}}';

your JSON is invalid, you have an extra closing curly brace. — inorganik

You have one missing a { after NAME_LIST and you should use " not '

Actually there is one missing { after NAME_LIST. Would still be invalid after your changes.

Yes, this was the problem, { after NAME_LIST. Thanks a lot

This string:

var string = "{'DataSerialized':{'DocumentElement':
    {'NAME_LIST':'FIELD_1':'VALUE_1','FIELD_2':'VALUE2','FIELD_3':'VALUE_3'}}}}";

Has one too many closing braces.

When you use $.parseJSON you should use " instead of '

if you have any problem with json format. Try jsonformatter

Even that it won't be valid, try to use Python json.load("hisjson") it won't work, Json uses double quotes !

You have a wrong JSON format, you miss one { after name list. There is correct example

var string = '{"DataSerialized":{"DocumentElement":{"NAME_LIST":{"FIELD_1":"VALUE_1","FIELD_2":"VALUE2","FIELD_3":"VALUE_3"}}}}';
JSON.parse(string);

Try to run it on browser dev console and then you will see correct object
