I receive a String of Lats & Longs from an API call in Json

"lineStrings": [
        "[[[-0.301457,51.515017],[-0.288265,51.51014],[-0.280462,51.503057],[-0.267972,51.494627],[-0.254555,51.495148],[-0.245704,51.494917],[-0.235881,51.494122],[-0.22362,51.4923],[-0.213427,51.490311],[-0.206636,51.490459],[-0.193378,51.492063],[-0.182658,51.494316],[-0.174138,51.494094],[-0.156377,51.49227],[-0.143102,51.496359],[-0.133608,51.499544],[-0.124861,51.50132],[-0.122666,51.507058],[-0.11426,51.511006],[-0.103659,51.511581],[-0.094009,51.512117],[-0.090432,51.51151],[-0.085969,51.5107],[-0.076546,51.509971],[-0.072384,51.515037],[-0.059971,51.519518],[-0.046596,51.521858],[-0.03364,51.525122],[-0.025128,51.52694],[-0.011538,51.524839],[0.005055,51.528136],[0.017451,51.531341],[0.035263,51.53534],[0.051186,51.538948],[0.081053,51.539321],[0.10153,51.538372],[0.127016,51.540331],[0.147527,51.541639],[0.166017,51.544096],[0.19864,51.549775],[0.219116,51.554093],[0.235809,51.55856],[0.250882,51.559063]]]"]

Unlike calls I am used to they don't come as individual lat and long values that I can iterate, it returns as a long String block.

I may be incorrect, but I don't believe I can parse it as there is no lat & long class to iterate, just lineStrings which is a long block. My Quicktype.io class to parse takes me to .linestrings when iterating

I want to split these into coordinate pairs that I can take the lat & long from each.

I have tried ```splitting```` but due to commas between the doubles & the pairs I couldn't get it to work. I also tried removing special characters but couldn't keep it formatted.

Any suggestions welcome.

End goal is the be able to perform something like the following

for (var x in coordinates){
GeoCoordinates y = GeoCoordinates(x.latitude, x.longitude);
}

Thanks

You'll have to do some manually splitting:

void main() {
  '[[[-0.301457,51.515017],[-0.288265,51.51014],[-0.280462,51.503057]]]'
      .split('],[')
      .forEach((p) => print(p.replaceAll('[', '').replaceAll(']', '')));
}

prints:

-0.301457,51.515017
-0.288265,51.51014
-0.280462,51.503057

which you can further split on , and parse as a pair of doubles.
