I have a string variable
let stringValue = "{DATA={VERSION=1.1, STATE=true, STATUS=ONLINE}}"
I would like to parse it to object as result where result will be:
let result = {"DATA":{"VERSION":1.1, "STATE": true, "STATUS": "ONLINE"}}
How would you convert a stringValue to result object so it would be possible to access the nested keys?
console.log(result.DATA.STATUS)
Under the assumption that keys and string values are fully capitalized:
I used the regex /[A-Z]+/g and .match(regex) to get an array of every all caps word in the string.
Create a Set out of the the array to remove duplicates and avoid repeating the next step on the same string multiple times.
Then iterate over each word and replace it in the main string with itself between quotes. DATA => "DATA"
Then replace = with :
And finally JSON.prase() and we get the object.
let stringValue = "{DATA={VERSION=1.1, STATE=true, STATUS=ONLINE}}";
let regex = /[A-Z]+/g
let objectStrings = stringValue.match(regex)
let uniqueStrings = [... new Set(objectStrings)]
uniqueStrings.forEach((string) => stringValue = stringValue.replaceAll(string, '"'+string+'"'));
stringValue = stringValue.replaceAll('=', ':');
console.log(JSON.parse(stringValue))Here it is in JSBin to show that the keys are properly assigned without the quotes.
