ReactJS - JSON.parse error: SyntaxError: Unexpected token ' in JSON at position 1

Question

I have a string like so: "{'store':'AAAAAA', 'online':'BBBBB'}"

and I am trying to convert this to an object and I have tried this:

let code = "{'store':'AAAAAA', 'online':'BBBBB'}"

let actualCode = JSON.parse(code);

But I get this error:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token ' in JSON at position 1

Why am I getting this error and how do I fix it? So I can use like to so:

actualCode.store

//Result AAAAAA

Thanks,

That's not valid JSON. Properties and values need to use ". — Andy

In JSON you have to use double quotations to indicate items:

let code = '{"store":"AAAAAA", "online":"BBBBB"}'
let actualCode = JSON.parse(code);
console.log(actualCode.store);
