Parsing JSON Arrays

Square Brackets

In JSON, arrays are enclosed in square brackets []. This is our signal to parse them as arrays.

Steps to Parse

  1. Slice the Brackets: We remove the opening and closing square brackets.
  2. Split Elements: Then, we split the string by commas to get individual array elements.
  3. Recursive Parsing: We call the parse function recursively for each element to handle nested arrays.

1if (input[0] === "[") {
2    return input
3        .slice(1, -1)
4        .split(",")
5        .map((x) => parse(x));
