How to Convert the JSON string to a object using Node.js

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about how to convert the JSON string to a Object in Node.js with the help of examples.

JSON stands for JavaScript string object notation, which is widly used to transfer the data from a client to server or server to client.

Consider, that we are having the following JSON string:

const jsonString = '{"name":"coach","age":12,"active":false}';

Now, we need to convert the above json string to object.

Using JSON.parse() method

To convert a JSON string into a object, we can use the built-in JSON.parse() method in Node.js.

The JSON.parse() method takes the JSON string as an argument and retruns the Object.

Here is an example:

const userString = '{"name":"coach","age":12,"active":false}';

const userObject = JSON.parse(userString);
console.log(userObject);

Output:

 {
 active: false,
 age: 12,
 name: "coach"
}
