convert the list to Json array

Question

I am getting data from backend in the below format:

[{
    patientId=2501, 
    uniqueId=PID140, 
    firstName=bairava, 
    middleName=, 
    lastName=surya, 
    emailAddress=**1717259005##@noemailaddress.com, 
    birthday=2016-01-07 00:00:00.0, 
    portraitId=0, 
    race=, 
    companyId=10253, 
    ssn=123-54-7678, 
    ethnicity=0, 
    bloodGroup=0, 
    gender=1, 
    patientLanguageId=,         
    folderId=53501, 
    activationReason=, 
    deactivationReason=, 
    patientStatus=Active, 
    activationRequest=false, 
    cashPayment=true
}]

How can I iterate and get each details individually?

Is that the actual format of the response? If so it's not valid JSON. — Rory McCrossan, Jan 20 '16 at 10:59
@AbbasGaliyakot given that the format isn't even close to valid JSON, that would just throw more errors. — Rory McCrossan, Jan 20 '16 at 11:04
Error:JSON.parse: expected property name or '}' at line 1 column 3 of the JSON data...so just tell me how i can access it in efficent manner. — user3235308, Jan 20 '16 at 11:06
var msglis='<%=message.getMatchedPatientlist()%>'; this the way am fetching the type is List — user3235308, Jan 20 '16 at 11:10

It's quite hard to explain. Just read the code and try to understand.

The way is to convert this string to a JavaScript structure object.

// The output html from the server
var msglis='[{ patientId=2501, uniqueId=PID140, firstName=bairava, middleName=, lastName=surya, emailAddress=**1717259005##@noemailaddress.com, birthday=2016-01-07 00:00:00.0, portraitId=0, race=, companyId=10253, ssn=123-54-7678, ethnicity=0, bloodGroup=0, gender=1, patientLanguageId=, folderId=53501, activationReason=, deactivationReason=, patientStatus=Active, activationRequest=false, cashPayment=true }, { patientId=2506, uniqueId=PID140, firstName=bairava, middleName=, lastName=surya, emailAddress=**1717259005##@noemailaddress.com, birthday=2016-01-07 00:00:00.0, portraitId=0, race=, companyId=10253, ssn=123-54-7678, ethnicity=0, bloodGroup=0, gender=1, patientLanguageId=, folderId=53501, activationReason=, deactivationReason=, patientStatus=Active, activationRequest=false, cashPayment=true }]';

var arr = msglis.replace(/=/g, ':').replace(/:.*?[,}]/g, function(a, b, c) {
  console.log(c);
  var comma = a.indexOf(',') > -1;
  var val = a.replace(':', '').replace(',', '');
  
  if (/^\d+$/g.test(val)) {
    return a;
  }
  else {
    return ':"' + val + '"' + (comma ? ',' : '}');
  }
});


var obj = eval(arr);
document.body.innerHTML = JSON.stringify(obj);

You can see the regex in action here

My pleasure ;) That's was challenging ;) If it does do the job, please accept this answer so it will help to other people. – Mosh Feu Jan 20 '16 at 12:58
when am passing it to a function --'' it shows error as SyntaxError: missing ] after element list so please help it out ASAP. – user3235308 Jan 20 '16 at 13:26
`obj` is the object from the snippet? I guess that you add this input dynamically with JavaScript. If so, you can't do this like this. You need to convert the `object` to `string` first using `JSON.stringify` like this: `` – Mosh Feu Jan 20 '16 at 13:31
when i do this i get SyntaxError: invalid property id..so my goal i need to pass the msglis variable to the function and i wil use your code to convert it to the string object so help me out to send inside function. – user3235308 Jan 20 '16 at 13:34
