Error when parsing empty object #3

Closed nviet closed 9 years ago

I got syntax error message at line 324 when trying to parse an empty object exampleObject: []

value = eval(value)

How can I fix this?

Hi.

If I've understood it correctly, you are trying to parse a string with an empty array (e.g. JSON.parse("[]").

I'll take a look at this soon.

This should be fixed in the develop branch. I've made some changes there and will merge to máster today.

Also, to parse arrays, you should set the result to an object, since the parse method returns a reference to a JSONarray objct that representes the data:

JSONstring = "[]"
set jsonArr = JSON.parse(JSONstring)
JSON.write() ' outputs '{"data":[]}'
jsonArr.write() ' outputs '[]'
