3. Remove brackets from JSON string

Let’s start the today’s topic How to remove square brackets from JSON objects in javascript?

Use of array index

When you have a simple array and you want to remove brackets to use their data then it’s the wrong way you have to use just array index syntax to access objects like the below example.

// your sample array
const domains = [
  {
  name: "Infinitbility",
  dob: "26-7-2020",
  domain: "infinitbility.com",
  email: "[email protected]",
  }
];

// access object values
console.log(domains[0]);

console.log(domains[0].name)

When you run the above program, you will get the object’s value in the console.

let’s check the output.

Use of JSON.parse()

When you are in a string that’s why you above solution does not work for you, let’s try the JSON.parse() method, it will convert your string array to an array and you can easily use it.

like the following example.

// your sample array
let domains = '[{ "name": "Infinitbility", "dob": "26-7-2020", "domain": "infinitbility.com", "email": "[email protected]"}]';

domains = JSON.parse(domains);

console.log('--------------')

// access object values
console.log(domains[0]);

console.log('--------------')
console.log(domains[0].name)

When you run the above program, it will convert JSON string to actual and you can also use it properly.

let’s check the output.

Remove brackets from JSON string

If your problem is not solved in the above case, then it’s not a problem you want to just remove brackets from the JSON string, let’s see how we can do it.

here we will use the javascript replace() method with regex exp, it will find brackets from the string and replace them with an empty string.

// your sample array
let domains = '[{ "name": "Infinitbility", "dob": "26-7-2020", "domain": "infinitbility.com", "email": "[email protected]"}]';

domains.replace(/[\[\]']+/g,'');

I hope it’s help you, All the best 👍.
