How can I parse JSON string in javascript?
The response is something like
var JSONresponse= [{
"id": 1133,
"name": "Seattle",
"addressLine1": "Test",
"city": "Seattle",
"state": "WA",
"zip": "98115"
}]How can I get the values of Id, name, city etc from above JSON response using javascript? I know jQuery has $.parseJSON(jsonString), but i don't want to use jQuery, I want javascript solution
Thanks

You can use JSON.Parse in javascript to convert your JSON response into javascript object and then you can access them
var JSONResponse={
"id": 1133,
"name": "Seattle",
"addressLine1": "Test",
"city": "Seattle",
"state": "WA",
"zip": "98115"
}
var obj = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(JSONResponse));
//then you can access it as
var id=obj.id;
var name =obj.name;JSON.parse() is a secure function to parse JSON strings and convert them to objects

There is another way using eval function , so your code will be
var JSONResponse={
"id": 1133,
"name": "Seattle",
"addressLine1": "Test",
"city": "Seattle",
"state": "WA",
"zip": "98115"
}
var jsontext= JSON.stringify(JSONResponse);
var getContact = eval('(' + jsontext + ')');
alert(getContact.name + ", " + getContact.id); // You will get Seattle , 1133Fiddle here
But as JSON.parse is secure and fast, i will recommend to use
JSON.parse function
