javascript - Not able to parse json string in ejs becuase of single quote in value -

i passing 1 json string variable nodejs ejs.

e.g stringjson = "{"obj" : "it's not working"}"

i retrieving value on ejs inside script tag using var stringifiedjson = '<%- stringjson%>'

so when page being rendered giving error "syntaxerror: missing ; before statement" because stringjson value contain single quote.

i came across solution can replace single quote "\'" problem in solution passing many jsonstring variables node ejs. have same in variables.

i seen in solution below

<script>     var stringifiedjson = <%- stringjson%> </script>

without surrounding ' '. showing error "expression require" error.

is there other way can parse jsonstring json object?

something work:

<p>stringjson.obj: <%= stringjson.obj %></p>

i think error come server response, try this:

res.render('index.ejs', { stringjson: {"obj": "it's not working"} });
