How to parse into JSON object using JSON.parse() in Node.js

Anonymous User799802-Apr-2013

Hi Guys

I am having the following string object and I want to create a JSON object out of it and store it in MongoDB.

var strMYDATA = '{"Name":"ABC","SignedDate" : ISODate("2013-04-02T09:07:42.282Z")}';

I tried the following to create a JSON object out of strMYDATA

var JSONobj = JSON.parse(strMYDATA);

console.dir(JSONobj);

Getting the following error:

undefined:1

"Name":"ABC","SignedDate" : ISODate("2

SyntaxError: Unexpected token I

at Object.parse (native)

Could anyone know how to parse the string with ISO date field like above in Node.JS?

Note: Cannot change the strMYDATA content because it a serialized object received from other Node.JS restful API.

Thanks

Hi Pravesh!

Your JSON data is bad. You have unescaped strings in your data.

var strMYDATA = '{"Name":"ABC","SignedDate" : "ISODate("2013-04-02T09:07:42.282Z")"}';

should be

var strMYDATA = '{"Name":"ABC","SignedDate" : "ISODate(\"2013-04-02T09:07:42.282Z\")"}';
