Parse JSON and receive better error message in case of failure
npm install better-error-message-for-json-parseThe main goal of this project is to provide a nice error message for the SyntaxError that may occur while parsing JSON data.
For example, parsing the following JSON:
``
{
"index": 1,
"index_start_at": 56,
"integer": 6,
"float": 11.6816,
"name": "Eva",
"surname" "Rowland",
"fullname": "Denise Pickett",
"email": "jack@garrison.vc",
"bool": false
}
will result in the following error message:
`
Unexpected string in JSON at position 105
"name": "Eva",
"surname" "Rowland",
-----------^
"fullname": "Denise Pickett"
1. import it
`js`
var { safeJsonParse } = require('better-error-message-for-json-parse');
2. use it
`js`
try {
safeJsonParse('{"a": 2, "b": 3, "v" 3, "e": 4 }');
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
3. enjoy:
`
$ node index.js
SyntaxError: Unexpected number in JSON at position 21
{"a": 2, "b": 3, "v" 3, "e": 4 }
