How to parse JSON using Node.js?

javascript, json, node.js

Solution

You can simply use `JSON.parse`.

The definition of the `JSON` object is part of the ECMAScript 5 specification. node.js is built on Google Chrome's V8 engine, which adheres to ECMA standard. Therefore, node.js also has a global object `JSON`[docs].

Note - `JSON.parse` can tie up the current thread because it is a synchronous method. So if you are planning to parse big JSON objects use a streaming json parser.

Problem

How should I parse JSON using Node.js? Is there some module which will validate and parse JSON securely?
