JSON object parse issue on react

Question

json = "{ elements: [ {type: 'radiogroup', choices: ['Yes','No','Maybe','Never'], isRequired: true, name: 'Test_01', title: 'Do you like ice cream?' }],showQuestionNumbers: 'off'}";  
   json = JSON.stringify(json);
   model = new Model(json);

it dosen't recognise the json object when it have quotes on

 var json = "{ elements: [ {type: 'radiogroup', choices: ['Yes','No','Maybe','Never'], isRequired: true, name: 'Test_01', title: 'Do you like ice cream?' }],showQuestionNumbers: 'off'}";

it works when removes quotes

   json = { elements: [ {type: 'radiogroup', choices: ['Yes','No','Maybe','Never'], isRequired: true, name: 'Test_01', title: 'Do you like ice cream?' }],showQuestionNumbers: 'off'};

I have tried JSON.parse(json); it dosen't work, would anyone please suggest solution, please?

If you have JSON in a string, then you should do JSON.parse, not JSON.stringify.

Also, single quotes are invalid in JSON, so always use double-quotes for that.

// I fixed the JSON
var json = '{ elements: [ {type: "radiogroup", choices: ["Yes","No","Maybe","Never"], isRequired: true, name: "Test_01", title: "Do you like ice cream?" }],showQuestionNumbers: "off"}';
// The thing you would expect
var obj = JSON.parse(json);

Because you are trying to stringify a string no the object remove " " and it would become object and then try JSON.stringify and JSON.parse is not working because the data is not in proper JSON string format. For example:

var object = '{"e":"a"}'; Then use JSON.parse(object); Which will convert your string in object.
