Format JSON string to render in React component

I'm trying to print a json string in a json format.

So, the input would be something like: "{\"a": 1, \"b\":\"2\"}"

I need the output to look like this:

{
  "a":1,
  "b":"2"
}

I have tried using JSON.stringify but it just prints out the same string. Any help is appreciated.

CodePudding user response:

Parse your string to js object, than parse it to string to with new lines.

console.log(JSON.stringify(JSON.parse('{\"a": 1, \"b\":\"2\"}'), null, 2));

CodePudding user response:

Before just running below code you should make a small change.

"{\"a": 1, \"b\":\"2\"}" ->
"{\"a\": 1, \"b\":\"2\"}"

const stringifiedJson = "{\"a\": 1, \"b\":\"2\"}";
const result = JSON.parse(json);
console.log(result);
