how to convert a JSon object to an array in Javascript

Question

I am returning array as

$array = array {
         'id' => 1,
         'name'=>krishna,
}
echo json_encode($array);
exit;

from an ajax call

How can I convert this json value to java script array?

This is my actual data

var data = [{
   "candidate_notes_id":"1",
    "candidate_id":"38",
    "subject":"test",
    "description":"t‌estestsete\netestes\n\n\nsteetet",
    "private":"0",
    "created_date":"2012-09-14 11:55:13",
    "updated_date":"2012-09-14 11:55:13",
    "updated_by":"admin"
  }] 

 var newArray = jQuery.parseJSON(data); 
 alert(newArray);
 return false;

result :

                      var newArray = JSON.stringify(data);
          var date_split = newArray.substr(1,newArray.length-2);
          var newData = date_split.replace('\n','<br>');
          var newArray = $.parseJSON(newData); 
          alert(newArray.candidate_notes_id);
          alert(newArray.candidate_id);
          alert(newArray.subject);
          alert(newArray.description);

Please be more specific. Do you want to have a Javascript array [1, "krishna"] or a Javascript object {id:1, name: "krishna"} ? — devnull69

If you are using jQuery then you can use jQuery.parseJSON(YOUR_AJAX_RESPONSE_DATA); which will convert json to JS object

Control characters like \n need to be escaped. Look at your error console. "Bad control character in string literal". The \n have to be \\n

This is the ajax response?

{"candidate_notes_id":"1","candidate_id":"38","subject":"test","description":"t‌estestsete\netestes\n\n\nsteetet","private":"0","created_date":"2012-09-14 11:55:13","updated_date":"2012-09-14 11:55:13","updated_by":"admin"}

I think you trying to get as array but they are in object. I modified your code and here it is, jsfiddle.net/25sjh Also you need to escape \n as \\n. I think you can do this in PHP side.

You can parse it using

obj = JSON.parse(responseData); // replace `responseData` with your XHR response variable name

in your success callback function. Then convert it an array as follows

var myArray=[];
myArray[0]=obj.id;
myArray[1]=obj.name;

but first of all your

$array = array {
    'id' => 1,
    'name'=>krishna,
};

should be

$array = array (
    'id' => 1,
    'name'=>'krishna'
);

DEMO.

When i am using JSON.parse() its through the error like SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character

Sherlock Over a year ago

And 'krishna' should be quotes, assuming it's not a constant.
