extract-json-from-string

Extract JSON/javascript objects from strings

Installation

npm install --save extract-json-from-string

Summary

Extract random JSON and javascript objects from a longer string, e.g. "Expected { foo: 'bar' } to equal { foo: 'baz' }". Also works with arrays.

Usage

Just pass the string into the one exported function and get a list of objects and arrays contained therein returned to you. If the string contains no valid objects or arrays (valid objects or arrays), you'll get an empty array back.

Node

const extract = require('extract-json-from-string')

let objects = extract('Expected { foo: "bar" } to equal { foo: "baz" }')
// [
//   { foo: 'bar' },
//   { foo: 'baz' }
// ]

Browser

let objects = window.extractJson(
  'Expected { foo: "bar" } to equal { foo: "baz" }'
)
// [
//   { foo: 'bar' },
//   { foo: 'baz' }
// ]
