You need to set one line of var jsonString together, not separate
var jsonString = '{"name": "Andrew", "languages": ["javascript", "swift", "java", "ruby", "html", "css", "qbasic"]}';
var jsonObject = JSON.parse(jsonString);

Salman Akram
Courses Plus Student 40,065 PointsWe should leave the first line, you just press enter to go second line to add the second code just like above.
Example:
var var1 = '{"name":...., "languages": [......]}';
var result = JSON.parse(var1);

26,377 PointsI tried both string and object. It won't work. var jsonObject = JSON.parse(jsonObject);
