Pretty-printing is implemented natively in JSON.stringify(). The third argument enables pretty printing and sets the spacing to use: If you need syntax highlighting, you might use some regex magic like so: See in action here: jsfiddle Or a full snippet provided below: Show code snippet

The JSON you posted looks fine, however in your code, it is most likely not a JSON string anymore, but already a JavaScript object. This means, no more parsing is necessary. You can test this yourself, e.g. in Chrome’s console: JSON.parse() converts the input into a string. The toString() method of JavaScript objects by default returns [object Object], resulting … Read more

Let’s evaluate the parsing of each: http://jsfiddle.net/brandonscript/Y2dGv/ The tl;dr here: The fragment in the json2 variable is the way the JSON spec indicates null should be represented. But as always, it depends on what you’re doing — sometimes the “right” way to do it doesn’t always work for your situation. Use your judgement and make an informed decision. JSON1 {} This returns an empty … Read more
You cannot make a AJAX call to a local resource as the request is made using HTTP. A workaround is to run a local webserver, serve up the file and make the AJAX call to localhost. In terms of helping you write code to read JSON, you should read the documentation for jQuery.getJSON(): http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/
That unexpected “u” is the first letter of the string “undefined”. It happens because your two asynchronous operations (i.e. loading the JSON and loading the window) are racing to completion, and if the JSON isn’t loaded fast enough, the window.onload method will attempt to parse the JSON string that isn’t loaded yet. A solution is to move … Read more
I need to know the most efficient way of installing JQ on Mac (El Capitan). The code is downloaded to my Mac but I would like to know how I can install and operate it via the command line.
Technically YAML is a superset of JSON. This means that, in theory at least, a YAML parser can understand JSON, but not necessarily the other way around. See the official specs, in the section entitled “YAML: Relation to JSON”. In general, there are certain things I like about YAML that are not available in JSON. As @jdupont … Read more
