Typing parsed string using interfaces

The interfaces can also be used to type the parsed string to the required type as shown in the below example.

Example: This example shows the parsing of JSON string using interface.

Javascript
const jsonStr1 =
    '{"name": "w3wiki", "desc": "A Computer Science Portal for Geeks"}';
const jsonStr2 =
    '{"name": "Google", "desc": "Searching Platform", "workforce": 2000}';

interface parseInterface {
    name: string;
    desc: string;
    workforce?: number;
}

const parsedStr1: parseInterface =
    JSON.parse(jsonStr1);
const parsedStr2: parseInterface =
    JSON.parse(jsonStr2);

console.log(`Company Name: 
            ${parsedStr1.name}, 
            Description: 
            ${parsedStr1.desc}`);
console.log(`Company Name: 
            ${parsedStr2.name}, 
            Description: ${parsedStr2.desc}, 
            Work Force: ${parsedStr2.workforce}`);

Output:

Company Name: w3wiki, Description: A Computer Science Portal for Geeks
Company Name: Google, Description: Searching Platform, Work Force: 2000

How to parse JSON string in Typescript?

In this tutorial, we will learn how we can parse a JSON string in TypeScript. The main reason for learning about it is to learn how we can explicitly type the resulting string to a matching type. The JSON.parse() method will be used to parse the JSON string by passing the parsing string as a parameter to it.

Syntax:

JSON.parse(parsingString);

We can type the parsed string with an explicit type using the following methods:

  • Typing parsed string using the type alias
  • Typing parsed string using interfaces
  • Typing parsed array string
  • Typing parsed string using classes

Typing parsed string using the type alias

The type alias will be used to define a new type with a mixture of different typed properties and can be used to type the parsed string....

Typing parsed array string

An array string can also be parsed using the parse method and required to be typed as an explicit array of required types....

Typing parsed string using classes

Using classes is another effective way to parse JSON strings in TypeScript. We can define a class that represents the structure of the JSON data, providing type safety and better organization....
