The variable named jSonStr01 is (or contains) a JSON string.
The only difference between the two is the pair of single quotes that surrounds the expression on the right side of the assignment operator for jSonStr01 .
The keys in the JavaScript object are surrounded by double quotes. This is optional. If those quotes were removed, the JavaScript object wouldstill be a JavaScript object.
Output from the script
After creating the JavaScript object and the JSON string, the code in Listing 14 executes four write statements to display information about the object and the string. Theresults are shown in Figure 6 .
| Figure 6 . Output from the script. |

1. John
2. undefined3. [object Object]
4. {"name":"Bill","age":33} |
Without getting into the details, the output in Figure 6 confirms that jScrObj01 contains a JavaScript object and jSonStr01 contains a JSON string.
Transform them both
The code in Listing 15
| Listing 15 . Transform them both. |
|---|
var jScrObj02 = JSON.parse(jSonStr01);
var jSonStr02 = JSON.stringify(jScrObj01);document.write("<br/>5. " + jScrObj02.name);
document.write("<br/>6. " + jSonStr02.name);document.write("<br/>7. " + jScrObj02);
document.write("<br/>8. " + jSonStr02);</script></body> |
Output from the script
After that, the code in Listing 15 executes four write statements to display information about the new object and the new string. Theresults are shown in Figure 7 .
| Figure 7 . Output from the script. |

5. Bill
6. undefined7. [object Object]
8. {"name":"John","age":33} |
Once again, without getting into the details, the output in Figure 7 confirms that jScrObj02 is a JavaScript object and jSonStr02 is a JSON string.
I encourage you to copy the code from Listing 16 , Listing 17 , Listing 18 , and Listing 13 . Load the code into your favorite browser and observe the output. Experiment with the code, making changes, and observing the results of your changes. Make certain that youcan explain why your changes behave as they do.
