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