Answer 1

Solution for your problem is JSON.stringify

You need to convert your data output into string i.e.,

 var yourDataStr = JSON.stringify(yourdata) 

and then validate your data with

JSON.parse(yourDataStr)

Then you can get your result. To validate, you can pass your data in below function :-

function validateJSON(str) {
    try {
       JSON.parse(str);
    } catch (e) {
     return false;
    }
  return true;
}
