Best way to parse single json string response

Question

I want to parse a json response like that : { "code": "#546545" } from an angular 2 service. There are two ways that I know of:

I think 1 is an overkill for a single string along with what I know what is the best way for something so simple?

observable and promise have .json() method, so whatever response you get, you can get your json by that method. — Bhavik Patel

Also, can you please clarify if its angular or angularjs ? — Bhavik Patel

There is no such thing as AngularJS 2. its either Angular 2 or AngularJs. Are you using Typescript? — baklazan

Either JSON.parse(string) or angular.fromJson(string)

which is just

function fromJson(json) {
  return isString(json)
      ? JSON.parse(json)
      : json;
}

The interface would help you, I don't think it's an overkill. But you still need to parse the string anyway.
