JSON.parse: expected property name or '}' - json

Question

Data contains (/"/):
{"test":"101","mr":"103","bishop":"102"}
script:
console.log($.parseJSON(result));
I'm getting error,
JSON.parse: expected property name or '}'.

Answer 1

Had same issue when used single quotes in JSON file, changed to double quotes for all string properties/values and it's working OK now.
Change:
JSON.parse("{'wrongQuotes': 5}")
To:
JSON.parse('{"rightQuotes": 5}')

Answer 2

If you're receiving the JSON with the encoded ", you'll have to replace each instance of " with a true " before doing JSON.parse. Something like:
myJSONstring.replace(/"/ig,'"');

Answer 3

My case was even simpler.
Having confused JSON with plain JS, I didn't put the object keys in double quotes.
❌:
{
title: "Hello World!"
}
✅:
{
"title": "Hello World!"
}
The irony is, Postman even highlighted this to me, but I ignored. Sleep is the answer.

Answer 4

For anyone who is using laravel blade and declaring a JS variable in a view.
You need to use:
var json = JSON.parse('{!! $json !!}');
Otherwise you will get this error due to the quotes being parsed as "

Answer 5

Change
{"test":"101","mr":"103","bishop":"102"}
To
'{"test":"101","mr":"103","bishop":"102"}'
if this is coming from the server (PHP)
i.e <?php $php_var = ["test" => "101", "mr" => "103", "bishop" => "102"]?>
then on Javascript end
var javascript_var = $.parseJSON('<?= json_encode($php_var) ?>');

Answer 6

/* suppose your json are single quote, it's necessary replace it single quote before, a simple example*/
let ojson = "{'name':'peterson'}";
ojson = ojson.replace(/'/g, '"');
ojson = JSON.parse(ojson);
console.log(ojson['name'])

Answer 7

for example, if u get something like this
{ "location": "{'lat': 4.6351144, 'lng': -74.12011199999999}" }
from your server, or recently get a bad converted format.
first,get your string
myItemString = "{'lat': 4.6351144, 'lng': -74.12011199999999}"
and change the keys using replace, and later json.parse,
'key' to ---> "key"
const key1 = myItemString.replace("'lat'",'"lat"')
const key12 = key1.replace("'lng'", '"lng"');
const obj = JSON.parse(key12)
console.log(obj)

Answer 8

You can try using stringifying before parsing:
JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(result))
