An algorithm for separating embedded JSON from a string, nicely packaged into an NPM module. It will attempt to parse potential JSON strings into objects and leave them as-is if it fails.
If you are upgrading from < 1.0, please see UPGRADING for migration instructions.
Object jsonFromText(String mixedStr, Boolean parseToObject)mixedStr: The string to separate the JSON from the text.parseToObject: If set tofalse, the resulting JSON strings will not be translated to JSON objects. Default istrue.
var jsonFromText = require('json-from-text');
var sampleText = "There was a change from {'animal':'dog', 'color':'blue'} to {'animal':'cat', 'color':'red'}'";
var results = jsonFromText(sampleText);
console.log(JSON.stringify(results, null, 2));{
"textResults": [
"There was a change from '",
"' to '",
"'"
],
"jsonResults": [
{
"animal": "dog",
"color": "blue"
},
{
"animal": "cat",
"color": "red"
}
