EXPLANATION
1
The string called jsonString consists of what will represent a JavaScript object
with properties and values. The data in a .json file would not have the outer single
quotes.
2
The
JSON.parse()
method evaluates the string and converts it to a JavaScript ob-
ject, the same way the JavaScript
eval()
function works when evaluating an ex-
pression (discussed in “The eval() Function” on page 118).
3
Using the JavaScript object, we can get the name and phone values for the object
with the dot syntax.
