//Parse to json data
const json_data = JSON.parse(str_data);

//Using callback function in JSON.parse
const json_data2 = JSON.parse(str_data, function(key, value) {
    //DO something here
})

Use callback function in JSON.parse

You can pass a callback function in JSON.parse and apply some conditions if you want to return some other values. A simple example for using the callback function is as below.

var data = '[{ "id": 1, "name": "Math" },{ "id": 2, "name": "Physics" },{ "id": 3, "name": "Chemistry" }]';

var json = JSON.parse(data, function(key, value) {
    //Do something here
});
