I am sending the string from AngularJS to NodeJS in following form.

"{↵obj:{↵one:string,↵two:integer↵}↵}"//request object from browser console

I want to convert this string in object and use its properties.for this the server side code is following:

var data=req.body.data.replace(/"/g,"");
var str=data.replace(/\n/g," ");
//res.json(str) // returning "{ obj:{ one:string, two:integer } }"
try {
var obj=JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(str)).replace(/"/g,"");
res.json(obj);//returning same "{ obj:{ one:string, two:integer } }"
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}

I want to get ['users'] by Object.keys[obj] or by any other method want to access the properties of this object.but failed to achieve this.

Many solutions like This couldn't be helpful.any suggestion here??

• 2 Why are you removing quotes and newlines? If it's valid JSON then all you need to do is call JSON.parse() on req.body.data. – mscdex Commented Nov 23, 2016 at 7:32
• It seems that this is not a valid JSON – ThomasThiebaud Commented Nov 23, 2016 at 7:37
• it is not parsing req.body.data directly.by doing this JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(req.body.data)) the answer is "{\nobj:{\none:string,\ntwo:integer\n}\n}".....still properties are not accessible – N.A Commented Nov 23, 2016 at 7:39
• @ThomasThiebaud error after json.parse shows this but how can i validate this json in case.???can u please explain? – N.A Commented Nov 23, 2016 at 7:42

All you need is JSON.parse to convert string to object.

Something like this:

var jsonString='{"obj":{"one":"string","two":"integer"}}';
console.log(JSON.parse(jsonString));

Output:

{ obj: { one: 'string', two: 'integer' } }

For example my raw data is like this :

var raw_data = 
    {
        "ok": true,
        "user": {
            "id": "U89MZ4PV2",
            "team_id": "T895HCY8H",
            "name": "hyosoka187",       
        }
    }

then just use JSON.parse(raw_data, true);. So

var real_data = JSON.parse(raw_data, true);
console.log(real_data.user.name);

Result :

hyosoka187

NOTE : Output of JSON.parse(raw_data, true) :

{
    ok: true,
    user: {
        id: 'U89MZ4PV2',
        team_id: 'T895HCY8H',
        name: 'hyosoka187',       
    }
}
