How to store Json string in a hidden input field. Well, I could do it programmatically, but something wrong with escaping. Since my string is moderately long, it is hard to escape " char for all the names. Please explain how it works programmatically (phase 1), as the console output looks same.
[{"X":0,"Y":0,"W":0,"H":500},{"X":358,"Y":62,"W":200,"H":500}]test2.html:21
[{"X":0,"Y":0,"W":0,"H":500},{"X":358,"Y":62,"W":200,"H":500}]

JSON can actually take the form of any data type that is valid for inclusion inside JSON, not just arrays or objects. So for example, a single string or number would be valid JSON. Unlike in JavaScript code in which object properties may be unquoted, in JSON only quoted strings may be used as properties.
var formData = JSON. stringify($("#emails_form"). serializeArray()); If you want to store formData in a JSON file, you need to post it to the server (e.g. per AJAX) and save it.
Getting a specific property from a JSON response object Instead, you select the exact property you want and pull that out through dot notation. The dot ( . ) after response (the name of the JSON payload, as defined arbitrarily in the jQuery AJAX function) is how you access the values you want from the JSON object.
You can do something like this, but it's pretty bad, HTML :
<textarea id="jsondata" sytle="display:none"></textarea>
and JS
$(function(){
var myItems = [{"X":0,"Y":0,"W":0,"H":500}, {"X":358,"Y":62,"W":200,"H":500}]
$("#jsondata").val(JSON.stringify(myItems));
});
<input type="hidden" id="jsondata2" value="[{"X":0,"Y":0,"W":0,"H":500},{"X":358,"Y":62,"W":200,"H":500}]"/>
is not correct. Use single quotes ' instead of the double quotes " in the value string to fix it (or escape the ")
<input type="hidden" id="jsondata2" value="[{'X':0,'Y':0,'W':0,'H':500},{'X':358,'Y':62,'W':200,'H':500}]"/>
The html markup is invalid ... if you run html validator againt the first html (non working one) you will find errors on the line...
