How to use eval() Method In Javascript
Another approach to convert a string of objects to an array is by using the eval() function. However, this method is generally not recommended due to security risks associated with executing arbitrary code.
Example: This example shows the use of the above-explained approach.
let str = '[{"company":"Geeks", "contact":"+91-9876543210"},
{"address":"sector 136", "mail":"xys@w3wiki.org"}]';
let arr = eval(str);
console.log(arr);
Output
[
{ company: 'Geeks', contact: '+91-9876543210' },
{ address: 'sector 136', mail: 'xys@w3wiki.org' }
]
While eval() can parse the string and create an array of objects, it should be used with caution and only when the source of the string is trusted.
