Question

How to disinfect data on a javascript object.

Answer 1

This is already an object ... of type Array . To access Object :

 var foo = data[0]; alert(foo.ID); 

JSON.parse takes a String and parses it for an equivalent JavaScript value.

Answer 2

This can be used in Javascript. You need to parse JSON when your data is in String format and you will get it from the server side.

The purpose of JSON.parse is to convert to a Javascipt Object Designation to use it. For instance,

 var str = "{"a":1,"b":2}"; var obj = JSON.parse(str); //obj = {a:1, b:2}
