How to keep C code in a JSON file and parse from Angular?

Meenakshi Agarwal

I would like to keep a multi-line C code inside a JSON file something like shown in the below coding snippet.

[
{
language: "C",
value: "int c = 0;
for (int i=0; i < 10; ++i) {
}
printf("Hello Angular");
"
},
{
language: "C++",
value: "int main() {
char* str= new char[10];}"
}
]

However, the Angular fails to load and parse the above JSON file. It seems like conflicting due to the curly braces and the new line characters. Any help in resolving this issue is much appreciated.

To conclude, I would like to update that a solution is found. It is simple though; we can use a pair of backticks (``) to store multi-line C code. After that, I tried to load the updated JSON from Angular, and it was successful.

Hi Manav,

There should be some elegant way to do it. I see one possibility like encoding the whole code and then store the resultant string into the JSON. Later, after parsing, the same object can get decoded. However, I wouldn't want to do this way as it turns the process difficult.

What about, keeping the C code in separate files, supplying their names into JSON, and load them from Angular. How do you see it getting implemented?

Thanks.

Hello

Basically, JSON data need to follow certain format otherwise it will not be called JSON, you know what I mean.

So it needs to follow the pattern of JSON file like :
{
     "name" : "MANAV PANDYA",
     "hobby" : "Writing"
}
I think, the kind of output you required is not possible
Thanks
