Convert string to JSON Object

Question

How do I convert string to object? I am facing this problem because I am trying to read the elements in the JSON string using "each".

My string is given below.

jsonObj = "{"TeamList" : [{"teamid" : "1","teamname" : "Barcelona"}]}" 

I have used eval and I have used

var obj = $.parseJSON(jsonObj); 

And i have also used

var obj= eval("(" + jsonObj + ")"); 

But it comes null all the time

Answer 1

Enclose the string in single quote it should work. Try this.

var jsonObj = '{"TeamList" : [{"teamid" : "1","teamname" : "Barcelona"}]}'; var obj = $.parseJSON(jsonObj);

Answer 2

Combining Saurabh Chandra Patel's answer with Molecular Man's observation, you should have something like this:

JSON.parse('{"TeamList" : [{"teamid" : "1","teamname" : "Barcelona"}]}');
