JavaScript splitting String with multiple quotation marks and different IDs

Question

I have Strings which look like this one, but with different Id.

[{"Id":33,"Title":"Sweden, Stockholm - Järfälla: Dienstag, 31. Januar 2017 - Mittwoch, 1. Februar 2017"}]

How can I split them so that they become:

Sweden, Stockholm - Järfälla: Dienstag, 31. Januar 2017 - Mittwoch, 1. Februar 2017

I know that I can represent the quotation marks using \", but I don't know how to apply the split or String.prototype.split function in this case.

I tried

var text = "[{\"Id\":33,\"Title\":\"Sweden, Stockholm - Järfälla: Dienstag, 31. Januar 2017 - Mittwoch, 1. Februar 2017\"}]".replace("[{\"Id\":33,\"Title\":\"", '');


alert(text);

But that would still leave "}] at the end and besides, the Strings have different ID's so that would only work for this case.

Thanks in advance!

You probably want to do a `JSON.parse` and grab the string from the *Title* property. — Moritz Roessler, Apr 20 '20 at 14:49

Use JSON.parse

var text = "[{\"Id\":33,\"Title\":\"Sweden, Stockholm - Järfälla: Dienstag, 31. Januar 2017 - Mittwoch, 1. Februar 2017\"}]"
console.log(JSON.parse(text)[0].Title.split(","))

This is just a JSON-string right? So, no splitting needed

const x = JSON.parse('[{"Id":33,"Title":"Sweden, Stockholm - Järfälla: Dienstag, 31. Januar 2017 - Mittwoch, 1. Februar 2017"}]');
// now x is an Array
console.log(x);
// it's first element is an Object
// and you can extract the 'Title' property
console.log(x[0].Title);

.as-console-wrapper { top: 0; max-height: 100% !important; }
