Array to json conversion using JavaScript in Apigee

In an Apigee JS script, I have an array like this:

["test","test group 2","test group 4","test group 4","test group 5","test group 6"]

I need to convert this array into JSON.

I have tried the code below:

var jsonString = JSON.stringify(myArray);

but I get output like this:

org.mozilla.javascript.NativeArray@617586ce

I have tried json parsing also but did not work. How can I convert it to a JSON string?

If you want to create a JSON object by parsing, then you need a valid JSON string. For example

var jsonString = "[\"test\",\"test group 2\",\"test group 4\",\"test group 4\",\"test group 5\",\"test group 6\"]";
var jsonObject = JSON.parse(jsonString);
console.log(jsonObject);

The JSON.stringify() method is used for conversion from an object to a string.

Check out the following links, where it's explained how to use JSON in JavaScript.

This should be work, try:

var a = JSON.parse("[\"test\",\"test group 2\",\"test group 4\",\"test group 4\",\"test group 5\",\"test group 6\"]")

console.log(a)

Result:

["test", "test group 2", "test group 4", "test group 4", "test group 5", "test group 6"]

You can use JSON.parse(x) to attempt to convert from a string to a javascript object.

Do NOT use eval unless you have a very specific reason.

you can try below code.

var o = '["test","test group 2","test group 4","test group 4","test group 5","test group 6"]';

var arr = JSON.stringify(o);
alert(arr)
