To convert string type value to array type, use the parse() method. Following is the code −
Example
var customerDetails='[ {"name": "John", "countryName": "US"}, {"name": "David", "countryName": "AUS"}, {"name": "Bob", "countryName": "UK"} ]'; console.log("The actual value="+customerDetails); var convertStringToArray=JSON.parse(customerDetails); console.log("After converting string to array objects="); console.log(convertStringToArray);
To run the above program, you need to use the following command −
node fileName.js.
Output
Here, my file name is demo123.js. This will produce the following output −
PS C:\Users\Amit\JavaScript-code> node demo123.js The actual value=[{"name": "John", "countryName": "US"}, {"name": "David", "countryName": "AUS"}, {"name": "Bob", "countryName": "UK"}] After converting string to array objects=[ { name: 'John', countryName: 'US' }, { name: 'David', countryName: 'AUS' }, { name: 'Bob', countryName: 'UK' } ]
