Is It Possible To Parse Json With Javascript?

I have an external URL for a JSON file which is hosted on another domain (not mine). Is it possible to parse this information with javascript only? Here is a sample of the JSON dat

Solution 1:

Browsers have native parsing methods -> JSON.parse() and JSON.stringify()

There are also several libraries that add the ability to parse JSON ...

• http://www.json.org/js.html
• http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/json/
• http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.parseJSON/

Eval is sometimes used directly within JavaScript - but there are often security concerns when using this method -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON#JavaScript_eval.28.29

Solution 2:

Yes, there is a built-in JSON.parse() function. Just pass the string to the function.

var obj = JSON.parse( data );
