EJS JSON Parsing












0














So this is the html I want to have generated dynamically by an array. I am not sure if this is the best method for Ejs in Nodejs, if not I'll be happy to receive your alternative way of doing it! The JSON looks like that:



                      {'TOP':{
'title':"TOP1",
'SUBTOP':{
'title':"SUBTOP1",
'article':{'title':'Article','link':'#'}
},
'SUBTOP':{
'title':"SUBTOP2",
'article':{'title':'Article','link':'#'},
'SUBSUBTOP':{
'title':"SUBSUBTOP2",
'SUBSUBSUBTOP':{
'title':"SUBSUBSUBTOP2",
'article':{'title':'Article','link':'#'},
'article':{'title':'Article','link':'#'}
},
'article':{'title':'Article','link':'#'},
'article':{'title':'Article','link':'#'}
},
'article':{'title':'Article','link':'#'}
}

}

},
{'TOP':{
'title':"TOP2",
'article':{'title':'Article','link':'#'},
'article':{'title':'Article','link':'#'}
}

}
]`


Unfortunately, I am too incompetent to solve this problem because I don't know how to parse the JSON... This is the code I got so far:



<ul>
<% for(var i in navtree) { %>
<p>
<h2><%= navtree[i]['TOP']['title'] %></h2>
<h2><%= navtree[i]['TOP']['SUBTOP'] %></h2>
</p>

<% } %>

</ul>


May somebody has any advise for me? Thank you!

          Why don't you simply parse (using JSON.parse(object)) it server-side, before rendering?
