How to remove \" from a string

Question

var str = "\\\"";
var jsondata = JSON.stringify(response.data).replace(str, "");

This code dont work. sample JSON:

[{ ID: 1, text: \"Meat\" }

That is not valid JSON. You should fix the source, not the symptoms. — str

Please read How to create a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example and update the question. I strongly assume that just replacing backslashes is a terrible approach. — str

What do you want to get? You should not mess with the value returned by JSON.stringify() or you won't be able to decode it back (because you'll end up with invalid JSON). — axiac

@axiac I ended up editing the JSON result to String then back to JSON. The problem is--yeah I think its invalid now because i got an error. — dscythe

JSON is a text representation of some data structure. Think of it as an encoded data (or encrypted, if you like it more). It is not something you can edit. Only JSON.parse() knows how to decode it, to get back data structures similar to those used to generate the JSON. — axiac

As @str commented right. But if you want to force fully remove these then you need to replace the charecters

response.data = response.data.replace(/\\/g, "");

@SangramBadi So you agree to fix the source but suggest to fix the symptoms instead? Interesting.

@str as you commented above is correct. but below your comment @dscytheProductions commented as `Its just a sample string inside the JSON. I just want to remove the `

@SangramBadi I have a problem now converting it back to JSON so I can use it as data $scope.treeData = new kendo.data.HierarchicalDataSource({ data: data, //here <------ schema: { model: { children: "Rights" } } });

@dscytheProductions That is exactly why I expected the replace approach to be terrible and asked for a full code example in the first place...
