In my application i am getting a response like below

{"success":true,"data":"{\"status\": \"Failed\", \"percentage_completed\": \"0\", \"actions\": \"Error: Insufficient argument: 1\\n\"}","message":"Logs fetched successfully."}

How to Convert this in to JSON. Tried JSON.parse doesnt seems to work. Is there any other way to covert this string into Valid JSON Format

json javascript

I understand where the confusion is coming from. The provided object has a property which contains a JSON string. In this case, the "data" attribute contains the JSON string which you need to parse. Look at the following example.

var result = {"success":true,"data":"{\"status\": \"Failed\", \"percentage_completed\": \"0\", \"actions\": \"Error: Insufficient argument: 1\\n\"}","message":"Logs fetched successfully."};

JSON.parse(result); // should fail
JSON.parse(result["data"]); // should work
JSON.parse(result.data) // or if you prefer this notation
