Json.parse return null

Question

I'm not sure why below return null this is my json string. It is cause by the JSON string format?

var data = '{"pvd":
            {
            "plannerViewDetailSummary":{"intTargetedCard":6549,"intDeliveredOffer":1,"intRedeemedOffer":1,"dtBegin":"\/Date(1380556800000)\/","dtEnd":"\/Date(1383148800000)\/"},
            "plannerViewDetailChannel":[{"nvarDesc":"Email"}],
            "plannerViewDetailTargetCust":[{"varGroupName":"ALL"}]
            }
    }'

var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
if (obj == null) {
    alert('null');
}

When you format the string correctly (ie remove the returns) the code works fine in a fiddle: jsfiddle.net/RoryMcCrossan/A7aBY — Rory McCrossan

Remove the line breaks or escape by a \ from json then try like,

var data =  '{"pvd":{"plannerViewDetailSummary":{"intTargetedCard":6549,"intDeliveredOffer":1,"intRedeemedOffer":1,"dtBegin":"\/Date(1380556800000)\/","dtEnd":"\/Date(1383148800000)\/"},"plannerViewDetailChannel":[{"nvarDesc":"Email"}],  "plannerViewDetailTargetCust":[{"varGroupName":"ALL"}]}}';
var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
if (obj==null){
   alert('null');
}
console.log(obj);

Fiddle

It's your line breaks in the string that's not valid JSON. Remove them and it will work fine (or escape them with \).

here you go..

http://jsfiddle.net/AfnX3/

The issue is in your data you cannot have string formatted in such way at least in javascript

var data = '{"pvd":{"plannerViewDetailSummary":{"intTargetedCard":6549,"intDeliveredOffer":1,"intRedeemedOffer":2,"dtBegin":"\/Date(1380556800000)\/","dtEnd":"\/Date(1383148800000)\/"},"plannerViewDetailChannel":[{"nvarDesc":"Email"}],"plannerViewDetailTargetCust":[{"varGroupName":"ALL"}]}}'

var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
if (obj == null) {
    alert('null');
} else {
    alert('ok');
}
