Parsing JSON on Jquery

Question

Hi I have this code to parse JSON on JQUERY

var json_text2 = $.parseJSON('{"data":[["1340650436","2.00000"],["1340736844","4.00000"]],"label":"Waist Size (cm)"},{"data":[["1340736861","3.40000"],["1340650514","4.00000"]],"label":"Arm Size (Inch)","yaxis":"2"}');

BUT I got this error on Firebug

JSON.parse: unexpected non-whitespace character after JSON data

Your object looks like {...},{...}. That's invalid JSON. You probably want [{..},{..}]. — Rob W

A valid JSON string needs to be a single object or an array of objects. Wrap your objects in array brackets []:

var json_text2 = $.parseJSON('[{"data":[["1340650436","2.00000"],["1340736844","4.00000"]],"label":"Waist Size (cm)"},{"data":[["1340736861","3.40000"],["1340650514","4.00000"]],"label":"Arm Size (Inch)","yaxis":"2"}]');

Or a string actually or array of strings as well. :)

Tested that JSON on chris.photobooks.com/json/default.htm. Its still saying invalid JSON.

@Dev, it checks out on jsFiddle on Chrome: jsfiddle.net/jackwanders/ZBad9. Works fine on your link too. Did you include the outer single quotes, because that's not part of the actual JSON string

Thanks YOU! solved the problem now! :) I was having on my code [json_text2] now I just removed the '[' and ']' and place it on the parseJSON :) Thanks a lot!!!
