Parse data from JSON in ReactJS

Question

I have data like this:

{
  \"movies\": [
    {
      \"abridged_cast\": [
        {
          \"characters\": [
            \"Dominic Toretto\"
          ],
             


        

Answer 1

React lives in JavaScript. So parsing a JSON string is done with:

var myObject = JSON.parse(myjsonstring);

How to fetch a file from somewhere with AJAX is a different question.

You could use fetch() for this. See for example
