javascript - Difference between JSON.stringify and JSON.parse
#short
#javascript
#json
I have been confused over when to use these two parsing methods.
After I echo my json_encoded data and retrieve it back via ajax, I often run into confusion about when I should use JSON.stringify and JSON.parse.
I get [object,object] in my console.log when parsed and a JavaScript object when stringified.
$.ajax({
url: "demo_test.txt",
success: function(data) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(data))
/* OR */
console.log(JSON.parse(data))
//this is what I am unsure about?
}
});
