i'm newbie to Angular. I'm trying to get Json data which written like that :

id:1,
name: "Friends",
type: "Group",

Now, i know i can't use this kind of data unless i add double quotes - like that (it's the only way it is working):

"id":1,
"name": "Friends",
"type": "Group",

What is the best way to parse JSON in Angular?

I've tried to combine JS , but it didn't work :

app.controller('contacts', function ($scope,$http,$log) {

    $http.get('http://localhost/Angular-Http-exercise/db.json')
        .then(function(response) {
            $scope.myData = function() {

            return JSON.stringify(response.data)
        };

        $log.info(response.data.name);
    });
});

make sure the source is valid json in the first place. If the contents of that file don't validate on jsonlint.com...fix it. Beyond that this question doesn't make much sense – charlietfl 52 mins ago

You can use angular.fromJson and angular.toJson for that purpose:

scope.myData = function(){
       return angular.fromJson(response.data);   
}

However JSON is a global variable and you should have access to it, since angular uses the same.

Roy, your question is What is the best way to parse JSON in Angular? JSON will not differ from one framework/language to another and there's no best way to write JSON.

If you want to see if your JSON is formatted correctly check out tools like: https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/
