Unterminated string constant error above 70 000 chars

[basstradamus]

Hi
When I am trying to eveluate object literal It causing Unterminated string constans error (firefox).

var obiekt = (eval("("+data+")"));
the data is carring object literal recived from server (AJAX - JSON format)

It works normaly for smaller strings, but when data variable has about 20 000 chars there is an error.

Is there any limitations to string lenght that will be evaluated by eval()?

How can I fix that ?
Thanks

unterminated string constant means it read an escape '\' with no following character.

Using javascript's eval to parse 70 kilobytes is a little like riding a kid's tricycle in the tour de france. It is hard to believe you can't move some of that data in another way.

Hi,
Thanks.

I've visit www.json.org and I found piece of javascript code to decode JSON. It works perfectly even up to 500 000 (it is definitly enought:)) chars.

Hi guys,
Could you tell me please how can I eval expression in javascript that contains \n character?

Firstly, make sure you even need eval. If you do, then escape the \ character by doubling it.

basstradamus, can you please share the js piece that you used? I am having the same issue when the response is greater than the set character length. Thanks!

visit the link he gave, you'll find the JSON library for JavaScript there.

Dormilich,

I clearly understand that there are a couple of JSON libraries on the link he provided. I was asking for the particular snippet that he used. Thanks for your reply though. I sent him a a separate message.
