Convert Text String to JSON object

[Former Member]

Hi,

How can a string be converted to a JSON object in SAPUI5 ?

Example : var mystr = ' [ { name : "Joe", last : "Doe"}, { name : "Jack", last : "Daniel" }]';

How do i convert mystr to a JSON object which can be used in a JSONModel?

$,parseJSON(mystr) or jQuery.parseJSON(myStr) do not seem to exist.

JSONModel.setJSON(mystr) too did not work.

Any pointers ?

regards,

Hi,

you can do as below,

var oModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel();

oModel.setData( [ { name : "Joe", last : "Doe"}, { name : "Jack", last : "Daniel" }] );

Hi Chandra,

thanks for your reply.

I specifically want to build a JSON like string and then convert it to a JSON object.

Apparently SAPUI5 does not seem to have any API to do so.
