Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0

October 8, 2021 by James Palmer

Try this in the console:
JSON.parse(undefined)

Here is what you will get:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0
at JSON.parse ()
at :1:6

In other words, your app is attempting to parse undefined, which is not valid JSON.
There are two common causes for this. The first is that you may be referencing a non-existent property (or even a non-existent variable if not in strict mode).
window.foobar = ‘{“some”:”data”}’;
JSON.parse(window.foobarn) // oops, misspelled!

The second common cause is failure to receive the JSON in the first place, which could be caused by client side scripts that ignore errors and send a request when they shouldn’t.
Make sure both your server-side and client-side scripts are running in strict mode and lint them using ESLint. This will give you pretty good confidence that there are no typos.

As @Seth Holladay @MinusFour commented, you are parsing an undefined variable.
Try adding an if condition before doing the parse.
if (typeof test1 !== ‘undefined’) {
test2 = JSON.parse(test1);
}

Note: This is just a check for undefined case. Any other parsing issues still need to be handled.
