JavaScript turn string into json object -

so, have function works json object want make simplier created function values of json object. why doesn't work?

var itemdata = {      weapon: function () {          return {              1: {                  'name': 'dagger',                      'extra_skill': 'none',                      'cost': 500,                      'attack': 5              },              2: {                  'name': 'pickaxe',                      'extra_skill': 'mining',                      'cost': 25,                      'attack': 5              }          }      },      getweapon: function (value, x) {          var obj = json.parse(value);          return itemdata.weapon()[x].obj      }  }    // outputs: dagger  console.log(itemdata.weapon()[1].name)    // name of weapon 1  // however, outputs: uncaught syntaxerror: unexpected token  console.log('getting weapon... ' + itemdata.getweapon('name', 1))

what doing wrong?

you don't need json parsing @ working, because there have json string needs parsed.

here working example:

var itemdata = {      weapon: function () {          return [              {                  'name': 'dagger',                      'extra_skill': 'none',                      'cost': 500,                      'attack': 5              },              {                  'name': 'pickaxe',                      'extra_skill': 'mining',                      'cost': 25,                      'attack': 5              }          ];      },      getweapon: function (value, x) {          return itemdata.weapon()[x][value];      }  }    // outputs: dagger  console.log(itemdata.weapon()[0].name)    // outputs: getting weapon... pickaxe  console.log('getting weapon... ' + itemdata.getweapon('name', 1))
