Parses a JSON string to return a JavaScript object.

Introduction

This function creates a JavaScript object from a passed JSON string, such as one created by dojo.toJson or the response data from an Ajax call with handleAs:"json" enabled.

// Dojo 1.7 (AMD)
require(['dojo/_base/xhr'], function(xhr){
  xhr.get({
    url:"foo.php", handleAs:"json",
    load: function(data){
      // data is a JavaScript object. The content of foo.php
      // was passed through dojo.fromJson
    }
  });
});

// Dojo < 1.7
dojo.xhrGet({
  url:"foo.php", handleAs:"json",
  load: function(data){
      // data is a JavaScript object. The content of foo.php
      // was passed through dojo.fromJson
  }
});

// Dojo 1.7 (AMD) require(['dojo/_base/xhr'], function(xhr){ xhr.get({ url:"foo.php", handleAs:"json", load: function(data){ // data is a JavaScript object. The content of foo.php // was passed through dojo.fromJson } }); }); // Dojo < 1.7 dojo.xhrGet({ url:"foo.php", handleAs:"json", load: function(data){ // data is a JavaScript object. The content of foo.php // was passed through dojo.fromJson } });

Usage

Dojo 1.7 (AMD)

require(['dojo/_base/json'], function(dojo){
  // require on dojo/_base/json will return the actual object of dojo
  var json = '{"a":"one", "b":3, "c":true}';
  var obj = dojo.fromJson(json);
  console.log(obj.a, obj.b, obj.c);
});

>>> one 3 true

require(['dojo/_base/json'], function(dojo){ // require on dojo/_base/json will return the actual object of dojo var json = '{"a":"one", "b":3, "c":true}'; var obj = dojo.fromJson(json); console.log(obj.a, obj.b, obj.c); }); >>> one 3 true

Dojo < 1.7

var json = '{"a":"one", "b":3, "c":true}';
var obj = dojo.fromJson(json);
console.log(obj.a, obj.b, obj.c);
>>> one 3 true

var json = '{"a":"one", "b":3, "c":true}'; var obj = dojo.fromJson(json); console.log(obj.a, obj.b, obj.c); >>> one 3 true
