Parse a JSON and use it in Lightning?

Question

Can you help me to parse a JSON file in a array so that I can iterate over it and display the contents on my lightning component?

Now I need to show the listings object as a list on the component using aura:iteration attribute.

Any help?

@glls The answer for this was basically the question for the other, so they're complimentary questions, not duplicates. — sfdcfox, May 19, 2017 at 16:55

If you mean on the client side, then its just:

var json = ...;

var parsed = JSON.parse(json);
var results = parsed.search_results;
component.set("v.listings", results);

I guess before parse once go stringify then parse like.

var obj;
var jsonString = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj));
// Now you getting the parse format json.
component.set('v.returnData', jsonString);
