// The JSON.parse() method parses a JSON string, constructing the JavaScript value or object described by the string.
// An optional reviver function can be provided to perform a transformation on the resulting object before it is returned.
//NOTE: JSON.parse() does not allow single quotes around items
//Example:
var obj = JSON.parse('{ "name":"John", "age":30, "city":"New York"}');
xxxxxxxxxx
var jsonPerson = '{"first_name":"billy", "age":23}';
var personObject = JSON.parse(jsonPerson); //parse json string into JS object
xxxxxxxxxx
const json = '{"result":true, "count":42}';
const obj = JSON.parse(json);
console.log(obj.count);
// expected output: 42
console.log(obj.result);
// expected output: true
