Trying to parse JSON with underscore (Unexpected token on Chrome)
11,051
It turned out the problem was with url parameter.
url : "users.json"
url: "/users.json"
Error thrown by Chrome:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ,
After an hour of troubleshooting, i found out: Chrome has a bug on caching GET requests.
It can be fixed by setting
cache: false
on my Ajax call!
Also making a directory and calling that directory on url seems to be working.
url : "json/users.json"
Thanks to those who tried to help.

Hello I am trying to get a grasp on underscore.js
i have a json file as follows:
[ { "name":"rocky", "last-updated": "Yesterday", "age":"32" }, { "name":"annie", "last-updated": "Today", "age":"31" } ]
And a javascript function:
function getNames() { var users = $.ajax({ url : "users.json", async : false }); var names = _.map(JSON.parse(users.responseText), function(user) { return user.name }); return names; }
It works fine on IE but on Chrome, it throws me:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ,
on this line:
var names = _.map(JSON.parse(users.responseText),function(user) {return user.name});
As far as I know this error is because of trying to parse object not the JSON string. Am i right? How do I solve this? It works on IE?
Thank you!
