JSON parsing error shows syntax error

Question

I am getting this json from server:

{"cust":[{"email":"[email protected]","url":"www.uzti.com"},
        {"email":"[email protected]","url":"www.url.com"}]}

I have checked this json on JsonLint site and it shows valid json. But I have retrieve the elements by Javascript. When I do this JSON.parse(json), I get the following error:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected non-whitespace character after JSON data at line 1 column 9 of the JSON data. Even if I directly use jaon.cust, it shows undefined How do I Resolve this?

if you do console.log(json) right before the JSON.parse(json), do you get the exact same result as the json data you pasted here? — Mehdi

did not understand what you meant, but server took 600ms or did you ask something else? — zomato

JSON.parse() parses string to json, if you are getting direct JSON from server then you have no need to parse it , access it directly with property, for example, look at the snippet.

$(document).ready(function(){

var a = {"cust":[{"email":"[email protected]","url":"www.uzti.com"},
        {"email":"[email protected]","url":"www.url.com"}]} ;
        
alert(a.cust[0].email);

});

I think that JSON.parse should use with a string not with a json object.

JSON.parse('{"cust":[{"email":"[email protected]","url":"www.uzti.com"},{"email":"[email protected]","url":"www.url.com"}]}')

try to convert your json to a string and use parse function.
