JSON.parse: unexpected non-whitespace character after JSON data in javascript
highcharts, javascript, json
Solution
It's because you're using `JSON.parse` to try to parse an array, which is not going to work. Just get rid of the `JSON.parse`, and this should work as expected.
When you call `JSON.parse` on something that's not a string, it's going to coerce it to a string by calling `.toString()` on it. If `valpair = [1234567, 0]`, then `valpair.toString()` is going to yield `123457,0` (this is probably dependent on the JS engine: I get `123457,0` in Chrome). This is invalid JSON: the "unexpected non-whitespace character" is the comma.
Problem
I get this error when debugging my highcharts javascript code via Firebug. Here are the relevant lines of code: ``` var valpair = [parseInt(items[0]),cumulative]; rain_series.data.push(JSON.parse(valpair)); ``` `items[0]` is just `"1234567"`, and if I add `console.log(valpair)` to my code, I get this output: `[1234567, 0]` which seems to be valid JSON. Nevertheless, I'm stuck on my error (I searched for a solution, but didn't find one for my case). Anyone here who knows what I'm doing wrong?
