javascript - Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier on strings with quotes and backticks

Question

I have value from javascript here which is a json string.

<script>
  var data = '[{"text":"Lorem's ipsum dolor sit amet"},{"text":"consectetur`s adipiscing elit"}]';
  console.log(data);
</script>

The above code has error Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

I also used backtick instead of single/double quote, but it has same error

<script>
  var data = `[{"text":"Lorem's ipsum dolor sit amet"},{"text":"consectetur`s adipiscing elit"}]`;
  console.log(data);
</script>

How can I do avoid the error? Given that the json string has single quote from Lorem's and backtick quote from consectetur?

Answer 1

You can escape the single quote using backslash ':

var data = '[{"text":"Lorem's ipsum dolor sit amet"},{"text":"consectetur`s adipiscing elit"}]';
console.log(data);
