JSON EVAL error in javascript

[budhartel]

Here is a sampel of the JSON text being returned from an httpRequest

{"Results":
  {"pubNeighborhhods":
    {"Rows":[
       {"intNeighborHoodID":1,"intBookID":1,"Name":"Blairgowrie","Latitude":"0","Longitude":"0","Country":"Australia","state":"Vic"}
      ,{"intNeighborHoodID":2,"intBookID":1,"Name":"Crib point","Latitude":"0","Longitude":"0","Country":"Australia","state":"Vic"}
      ,{"intNeighborHoodID":3,"intBookID":1,"Name":"Moorooduc","Latitude":"0","Longitude":"0","Country":"Australia","state":"Vic"}
      ]
    }
  }
}

the above is returned as one long string with no line breaks, i added those for readability

when i use eval() it causes "invalid label" error

I have read about this online and the only answer i find is to enclose the JSON string in parentheses "(" and ")"

when i do this i get the following error
"missing ) in parenthetical"

i have not found a solution to this issue although i have found a couple posts asking about it

thanks

The problem is in what you are feeding the eval.

For example-
var s='{Larry:"Howard",Curly:"Howard",Moe:"Howard"}';
eval(s) throws an invalid label error
eval("\'"+s+"\'") returns the string, and not an object

But eval("var O="+s) does not throw an error,
and O does return the object.

Change either the response text or the eval call to make an assignment
of the object.
