JSON.parse() error in typescript

[dusky prawn]

I'm trying JSON.parse() but faced an unexpected error. Can you help me now?
const abi = "[{\"type\": \"function\", \"name\": \"empty\", \"inputs\": [], \"outputs\": [], \"state_mutability\": \"external\"}]"
console.log(JSON.parse(abi))

I also tried JSON.parse(abi.replace(/\\"/g, '\"')) but failed

You can choose specific lines to embed by selecting them before copying the link.

you don't need a triple slash

that's the problem

[dusky prawn]

make sense but it comes from server side.

replace all tripple slashes with single slashes

or fix the server

Yeah, slashes are only for escaping the JS literal strings. (Though other backend languages might need them to escape their literal strings)

The actual string being JSON parsed should not have slashes in it.
