json evaluation causing an issue

When trying to use eval for the JSON below, I am encountering a syntax error with the message: Expected ']'. I am unsure of what is missing in my code. Here is my JavaScript statement:

eval('var jsonResponse = ('+response+')');

The response contains the following:

{iserror:"false",employees:["employee":{"employeeNbr":"SAN1234509","emplType":"SAN","agencyNbr":"","producerNbr":"123456789","remiCode":"SA","agentRate":"SA","typeCode":"I","reasonTxt":"S3","rsnDescription":"null","ymdeff":"20130101","ymdend":"20130101","voidtxt":"V","brokerName":"429610583","brokerNpn":"429610583","ymdtrans":"null","opNbr":"null"},
                            "employee":{"employeeNbr":"SAN1234509","emplType":"SAN","agencyNbr":"xxxxx-C","producerNbr":"1234567890,"remiCode":"SA","agentRate":"SA","typeCode":"I","reasonTxt":"S3","rsnDescription":"null","ymdeff":"20130101","ymdend":"20130101","voidtxt":"","brokerName":"429610583","brokerNpn":"429610583","ymdtrans":"null","opNbr":"null"},
                            "employee":{"employeeNbr":"SAN1234509","emplType":"SAN","agencyNbr":"","producerNbr":"123456789","remiCode":"SA","agentRate":"SA","typeCode":"I","reasonTxt":"S3","rsnDescription":"null","ymdeff":"20130101","ymdend":"20130101","voidtxt":"V","brokerName":"429610583","brokerNpn":"429610583","ymdtrans":"null","opNbr":"null"}]}

Answer №1

At first glance, you asserted that it's JSON, yet that is not the case. To qualify as JSON, quotations are mandatory around iserror. An example of JSON format would look like this:

{ "iserror": "false", "employees":[...]}

However, given that you are actually passing the string to a JavaScript parser (eval), it only needs to be valid JavaScript, not specifically JSON. Your syntax does not comply with standard JavaScript rules, hence the occurrence of errors.

Your structure is currently like this:

{
   iserror: "false",
   employees:[
      "employee":{...},
      "employee":{...},
      "employee":{...}
   ]
}

The use of : after "employee" is incorrect. Perhaps you intended to write:

{
   iserror:"false",
   employees:[
      {...},
      {...},
      {...}
   ]
}

Furthermore, you wrote:

"producerNbr":"1234567890,"remiCode":"SA"

instead of

"producerNbr":"1234567890","remiCode":"SA"
