JScript - JSON.parse() not supported

[peterchan75]

Hi,
I trying the parse this JSON using Jscript JSON.parse but this method is not support. Some suggest using eval(). I tried but couldn't get it to work. Any advice is much appreciated.

var json = [{"date":"2021-06-04T00:00:00.000Z","close":125.89,"high":126.16,"low":123.85,"open":124.07,"volume":75169343,"adjClose":125.89,"adjHigh":126.16,"adjLow":123.85,"adjOpen":124.07,"adjVolume":75169343,"divCash":0.0,"splitFactor":1.0},{"date":"2021-06-07T00:00:00.000Z","close":125.9,"high":126.32,"low":124.8321,"open":126.17,"volume":71057550,"adjClose":125.9,"adjHigh":126.32,"adjLow":124.8321,"adjOpen":126.17,"adjVolume":71057550,"divCash":0.0,"splitFactor":1.0}];

Read the code properly. Is it a String, or an Object ?

Why do you need to parse a javascript syntax when it is already parsed by the Javascript engine ?

It's a string. Rather than using regex, using JSON.parse to put into is straight foward.
var myarray = JSON.parse(json);

If it is a string where are ether single or double quotes?

Load this code pen demo in a separate tab, open the console and run to see what I'm doing.

David,

Thank you very much for your time. These are stock data from Tiingo API call that I used to test the JScript code. I run into the problem of JSON.parse not support in WSH JScript. Your question on single or double quotes in the json help fixed the problem. There should be quotes on both ends. I google and found the workaround using html COM object.

var htmlfile = WSH.CreateObject('htmlfile'), JSON;
htmlfile.write('<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=9" />');
htmlfile.close(JSON = htmlfile.parentWindow.JSON);

Thanks again.
