Input/Output: JSON Parsing

Objective

Students must parse JSON data from configuration files and API responses.

Evidence

JSON parsing in game components:

  • GameLevelOutside.js - JSON structure for NPC Q&A data
  • Configuration files - Parsing level and game settings
  • API responses - Parsing leaderboard and NPC data

Implementation Details

  • JSON.parse() for string-to-object conversion
  • JSON.stringify() for object-to-string conversion
  • Handling nested JSON structures
  • Destructuring for extracting JSON properties
  • Error handling for malformed JSON

Key Concepts

  • JSON format (key-value pairs, arrays, nested objects)
  • JSON.parse() and JSON.stringify()
  • Destructuring assignment
  • Deeply nested object access
  • Validation and error handling
