Not getting a json output form axios - json

Question

I am using axios to retrieve data from Wikipedia Api. This is the code I have writtent.
let axiosData = function(){
let searchString = $('#searchString').val();
console.log(searchString);
let Url = "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search="+ searchString +
"&origin=*&callback=";
axios.get(Url)
.then(function(res){
var linkLists = res.data;
console.log(linkLists);
})
.catch(function(){
console.log("Error")
});
return false;
}
$('form').submit(axiosData);
I am able to get an output when I console log it. Which is the following: In this case I am searching for the name Jon Snow. How am able to access the json?

Answer 1

At The beginning of the json has '/**/(' and at the end ')' characters which have cut by substring. After parsed it.
let Url = "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&format=json&search=jon%20snow&origin=*&callback=";
axios.get(Url)
.then(function(res){
console.log(res);
var linkLists = JSON.parse(res.data.substring(5, res.data.length-1));
console.log(linkLists)
})
.catch(function(){
console.log("Error...")
});

Answer 2

If res.data is the JSON response for your http request you can parse that into JSON with the JSON.parse() function
var linkJSON = JSON.parse(res.data)
That will give you the json data in the linkJSON object.
