How do I split the string 'data' into an array in javascript? JSON.parse gives an error
let data = "[{'index': '0', 'id': 't0', 'content': 'Hello World'}, {'index': '1', 'id': 'l1', 'content': 'Data'}, {'index': '2', 'id': 'i2', 'content': 'abc'}]";

5JSON uses double quotes (not single). Your JSON is invalid.Mohammad Usman– Mohammad Usman2018-07-14 07:19:49 +00:00Commented Jul 14, 2018 at 7:19

Replace the single-quotes with double-quotes so that it's in valid JSON format, and then JSON.parse it:
const data = "[{'index': '0', 'id': 't0', 'content': 'Hello World'}, {'index': '1', 'id': 'l1', 'content': 'Data'}, {'index': '2', 'id': 'i2', 'content': 'abc'}]";
const dataArr = JSON.parse(data.replace(/'/g, '"'));
console.log(dataArr);(or, if at all possible, simply fix your data string so that it uses double-quotes to begin with)

Your data is an invalid JSON that's why JSON.parse throws you an error.
