Lightweight JSON parse errback function
Reduce the boilerplate of wrapping every JSON.parse in a try/catch block. This no frills nanolibrary will safely parse JSON and return a javascript object or an error object in a node-style error-first callback function.
Use in node or in the browser.
var parseJSON = require('lite-json-parse');
var json = "{\"food\":\"pizza\",\"drinks\":[\"soda\",\"red pop\",\"root beer\"]}";
parseJSON(json, function (err, pizzaParty) {
if (err) {
// handle parse error object
return console.log(err);
}
// success - have a pizza party!
pizzaParty.drinks.forEach(function(beverage) {
console.log(beverage);
});
});
