Answer 1

get the values in between quotes

One thing to keep in mind is that valid JSON accepts escaped quotes inside the quoted values. Therefore, the RegEx should take this into account when capturing the groups which is done with the “unrolling-the-loop” pattern.

var pattern = /"[^"\\]*(?:\\.[^"\\]*)*"/g;
var data = {
  "value": "This is \"stuff\".",
  "empty": "",
  "null": null,
  "number": 50
};
var dataString = JSON.stringify(data);
console.log(dataString);
var matched = dataString.match(pattern);
matched.map(item => console.log(JSON.parse(item)));
