JSON parse unexpected character error

Question

I get this error      JSON parse  unexpected character   when I run this statement in firebug   JSON parse   balance  0  count  0  time  1323973673061  firstname   howard   userId  5383  localid  1  freeExpiration  0  status  false      Why is it so  The JSON string seems correct to me and I also tested it using JSHint  The passed object in the above case is a server response with content type set to application json

Not true for the OP  but this error can be caused by using single quotation marks     instead of double     for strings   The JSON spec requires double quotation marks for strings   E g   JSON parse    myparam    myString       gives the error  whereas  JSON parse    myparam    myString       does not  Note the quotation marks around myString   Related  https   stackoverflow com a 14355724 1461850

You re not parsing a string  you re parsing an already-parsed object     var obj1   JSON parse    creditBalance  0      starStatus  false                                                                                              if you want to parse  the input should be a string   var obj2     creditBalance  0      starStatus  false      or just use it directly

You can make sure that the object in question is stringified before passing it to parse function by simply using  JSON stringify      Updated your line below   JSON parse JSON stringify   balance  0  count  0  time  1323973673061  firstname   howard   userId  5383  localid  1  freeExpiration  0  status  false      or if you have JSON stored in some variable   JSON parse JSON stringify yourJSONobject
