what causes this error on the third line?
var products = [{ "name": "Pizza", "price": "10", "quantity": "7" }, { "name": "Cerveja", "price": "12", "quantity": "5" }, { "name": "Hamburguer", "price": "10", "quantity": "2" }, { "name": "Fraldas", "price": "6", "quantity": "2" }]; console.log(products); var b = JSON.parse(products); //unexpected token o

products
is an object. (creating from an object literal)
JSON.parse()
is used to convert a string containing JSON notation into a Javascript object.
Your code turns the object into a string (by calling .toString()
) in order to try to parse it as JSON text.
The default .toString()
returns "[object Object]"
, which is not valid JSON; hence the error.
