How can I parse the json string in javascript [duplicate]

Question

This is the dictionary that I have given for the json.dumps in my views.py

{1: {'status': u'up', 'count': 8}, 2: {'status': u'down', 'count': 12}}

I have to use this in my javascript. I have tried the following way but not working for me.

var mydata = json.loads({{indexdata}});

can anyone please help me with this?

And what template language is this? Is this Flask, Django, something else? — Martijn Pieters

And Javascript doesn't have a json module; that's Python code only. — Martijn Pieters

@Martijn Pieters, that is Django template language and I have no idea what to write in Javascript, that is the reason why I need help — Suresh Kota

JSON is essentially a JavaScript Object, why would you need to 'parse' it? — Frederick Nyawaya

Try this:

var mydata = {{indexdata}};

java script interprets things like you've posted as an object. you don't need any conversion.

var myObj = {a : { b : 5 }}

is a valid js object
