Split a string into a list of strings












1















I have an input Json string like this:



var x= "[{"name":"ahmed","age":"26"}, 

{"name":"Sam","age":"25"}]"


I want to split it to a list of strings from{ to } as follows without removing a delimiter



var list;

 list[0]= {"name":"ahmed","age":"26"}

 list[1]= {"name":"Sam","age":"25"}


using the split method removes the delimiter and does not yield the correct format



x= x.replace(/[/]/g, '/'); //to remove [ and ]

x= x.replace(  /},/ ,'}n' ); // does not split the string to list of strings

list = x; // type mismatch error since x is a string and list is array





javascript string replace split substring

As commented above by Teemu, using JSON.parse is the safe and correct way to parse json. 






const x = "[{"name":"ahmed","age":"26"},{"name":"Sam","age":"25"}]";



console.log(JSON.parse(x));

You can parse it to JSON first then use map to make list out of it.



var parsedX = JSON.parse(x);

var list = parsedX.map(x => JSON.stringify(x).replace(/"/g,'\"'));

    You could use following code to achieve desired result with this particular type of json:



    var str = "[{"name":"ahmed","age":"26"}, {"name":"Sam","age":"25"}]";
    
var list = str.match(/[{][^{}]*[}]/gm);
    

    
alert(list)
