i want to parse any json in javascript (react more exactly) and put it in a big object (to show it on UI and modify before put it again in json) But i don't know how to exactly do that !

I tried with var data = require("./test.json"); var jsonString = JSON.stringify(data); But after that i don't know how to parse correctly my file,i can't name programaticaly my properties in my array so impossible to parse manually..

I precise i don't know json content so i can't do pre-build object. Thank you for you answers ! :)

Are you looking for `JSON.parse(data)`? – Thomas Kekeisen Apr 06 '17 at 13:47
`var data = require("./test.json");` — This does parse it – Quentin Apr 06 '17 at 13:48

`var jsonString = JSON.stringify(data);` — This **un**parses it and turns it back into JSON – Quentin Apr 06 '17 at 13:48
I have no idea what you are trying to say in the rest of the question. – Quentin Apr 06 '17 at 13:48
Well, not much of an idea. I suspect this is a duplicate of [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/684672/how-do-i-loop-through-or-enumerate-a-javascript-object) – Quentin Apr 06 '17 at 13:49
What are you trying to achieve when stringifying the data? `JSON.stringify` turns JSON object to a string. – haipham23 Apr 06 '17 at 13:49
@haipham23 — There's [no such thing as a JSON object](http://benalman.com/news/2010/03/theres-no-such-thing-as-a-json/). `JSON.stringify` turns a **JavaScript** object (or primitive) into a string of JSON. – Quentin Apr 06 '17 at 13:50

@haipham23 — http://www.w3fools.com/ — W3Schools is terrible. Don't trust them. – Quentin Apr 06 '17 at 14:00
