I have a JavaScript array that, among others, contains a URL. If I try to simply put the URL in the page (the array is in a project involving the Yahoo! Maps API) it shows the URL as it should be.
But if I try to do a redirect or simply do an 'alert' on the link array element I get:
function(){return JSON.encode(this);}
As far as I see it this is because the browser does an JSON.encode when it renders the page, thus the link is displayed OK. I have tried several methods to make it redirect (that's what I want to do with the link) correctly (including the usage of 'eval') but with no luck.
After following some suggestions I've run eval('(' + jsonObject + ')') but it still returns the same output.
So how's this done ?

Use the JSON. parse() method to pase a JSON array, e.g. JSON. parse(arr) . The method parses a JSON string and returns its JavaScript value or object equivalent.
When using the JSON. parse() on a JSON derived from an array, the method will return a JavaScript array, instead of a JavaScript object.
Stringify a JavaScript ArrayIt is also possible to stringify JavaScript arrays: Imagine we have this array in JavaScript: const arr = ["John", "Peter", "Sally", "Jane"]; Use the JavaScript function JSON.
How Does JSON Parse Work? The JSON parse function takes data that's in a text format and then converts it into JavaScript. Usually, these take the form of JavaScript objects, but the parse function can be used directly on arrays as well.
var obj = jQuery.parseJSON('{"name":"John"}'); alert( obj.name === "John" ); See the jQuery API.
