React JS: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0

Question

I'm trying to parse and get fetch data from URL, but got the error like:

Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0

the URL contains this such of data:

<wfs:FeatureCollection xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/wfs" xmlns:wfs="http://www.opengis.net/wfs" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" xmlns:kict="kict" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs http://192.168.0.70:28080/geoserver/schemas/wfs/1.0.0/WFS-basic.xsd kict http://192.168.0.70:28080/geoserver/wfs?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=DescribeFeatureType&typeName=kict%3Av_plans_photo">

I just used fetch to parse and fetch data like below:

let url = "/geoserver/wfs?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=kict:v_plans_photo&srsName=EPSG:4326&maxFeatures=10000&format_options=callback:getJson&cql_filter=INTERSECTS(geom, POINT (128.9880585 37.7161098))"

if (url) {
    fetch(url, {
       headers : { 
          'Accept': 'application/json'
        }
    })
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then((response) => {
        console.log(response)
     },
     (error) => {
      this.setState({
         isLoaded: true,
         error
       });
       console.log(`fetch failed: ${this.state.error}`)
       }
     )
  }

How can I get data from that URL using fetch?

@ShoyebMemon I've tried but it said: `VM1323:1 Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: Unexpected token o in JSON at position 1` — frankiie, Jan 10 '22 at 06:57
You need to convert the response to Json format first. Directly calling response.json() throws you the above error mentioned in your question.

It is throwing such error because you are trying to parse a non-json datatype. Response data is actually an XML. You have to first parse the text and then parse the XML.

Visit this page for detailed info

The json() method of the Response interface takes a Response stream and reads it to completion. It returns a promise which resolves with the result of parsing the body text as JSON.

Note that despite the method being named json(), the result is not JSON but is instead the result of taking JSON as input and parsing it to produce a JavaScript object.

As you can see, the json() takes JSON format as input and then parses it, as your data is not in a JSON format you are bound to get the following error

Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0

Your result is in XML format. Try the following

let url = "/geoserver/wfs?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=kict:v_plans_photo&srsName=EPSG:4326&maxFeatures=10000&format_options=callback:getJson&cql_filter=INTERSECTS(geom, POINT (128.9880585 37.7161098))"

if (url) {
    fetch(url, {
       headers : { 
          'Accept': 'application/json'
        }
    })
    .then(response => response.text())
    .then(response => {
      const parser = new DOMParser();
      const xml = parser.parseFromString(data, "application/xml");
      console.log(xml);
    },
     (error) => {
      this.setState({
         isLoaded: true,
         error
       });
       console.log(`fetch failed: ${this.state.error}`)
       }
     )
  }
