converting JSON data into javascript Object format

Question

My API is returning data into the below format.

{
    "name": "Mahima",
    "surname": "Saxena",
}

I need to convert the same into below format.

{
    name: "Mahima",
    surname: "Saxena",
}

I need to remove double quote(" ") from key . how can I do this?

I tried below code.

var abc = {
  "name": "Mahima",
  "surname": "Saxena",
};
console.log(abc);
console.log(JSON.parse(abc));

I am getting error in code.

what mistake I am doing?

Answer 1

You are misunderstanding the concept of "json string". It is easy as it looks like how javascript typically shows the contents of an object. I have stumbled on this myself.

See

JSON.parse(abc)

The method 'parse' takes an argument that must be a string. It then returns an object.

You already have an object in abc with

var abc = {
  "name": "Mahima",
  "surname": "Saxena",
};

So there is no need to convert anything.

The formats

{
    "name": "Mahima",
    "surname": "Saxena",
}

and

{
    name: "Mahima",
    surname: "Saxena",
}

are the same. They are 1 object with the properties name and surname.
