Menu
I tried to set some json data inside a dataset attribute.
The HTML looks likes this
<div data-switch="true" data-json="{'key1': 'value 1'}, {'key2': 'value 2'}">
The data inside the data-json I obtain it with JavaScript in this way:
var json = $("[data-json]").data("json").toString();
json = JSON.stringify(json);
Whatever I try, it doesn't convert it to an object. It just returns a string
With toString() and stringify()
$(function() {
json = $("[data-json]").data("json").toString();
json = JSON.stringify(json);
json = JSON.parse(json);
console.log(json);
});<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div data-json="{'key1': 'value 1'}, {'key2', 'value 2'}">
</div>When i remove the toString() and stringify() functions, it gives the following error:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ' in JSON at position 1
Without toString() and stringify()
$(function() {
json = $("[data-json]").data("json");
json = JSON.parse(json);
console.log(json);
});<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div data-json="{'key1': 'value 1'}, {'key2', 'value 2'}">
</div>Fiddle with original JavaScript and HTML

You can actually just pass a valid json object it should just work.
json = $("[data-json]").data("json");
console.log(typeof(json))<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div data-switch="true" data-json='[{"key1": "value 1"}, {"key2": "value 2"}]'>You use valid JSON (which requires that you use double quotes, not single quotes, around keys and other strings). Then either retrieve with attr and parse with JSON.parse, or if you want to use jQuery's data store, use data to load it into that store and access it; data will parse it automatically. Note that data is not just an accessor for data-8 attributes, it's both more and less than that, so be sure to read the API docs for it and use it if you want its features, and don't use it if you don't.
Example:
var d = $("div[data-json]");
// Using `attr` and `JSON.parse`:
console.log(JSON.parse(d.attr("data-json")));
// Using jQuery'd data store
console.log(d.data("json"));<div data-json='{"answer":42,"question":"Life, the Universe, and Everything!"}'></div>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>Note that the attribute uses single quotes, so we can conveniently use double quotes in the JSON. But that would fail if we used ' in the JSON anywhere (such as in a string: "where":"Joe's house").
The text of attributes is HTML, not raw text. So if you're generating this JSON dynamically, perhaps in a server-side template or something, be sure that when it's output, it's output as HTML text, not raw text, to ensure that any necessary encoding is done. When you do that, the quotes may well be turned into " entities, in which case there's no problem using " around the attribute value:
var d = $("div[data-json]");
// Using `attr` and `JSON.parse`:
console.log(JSON.parse(d.attr("data-json")));
// Using jQuery'd data store
console.log(d.data("json"));<div data-json="{"answer":42,"question":"Life, the Universe, and Everything!"}"></div>
