# Parse JSON
> Parse a string as [JSON][json].
<section class="usage">
## Usage
```javascript
var parseJSON = require( '@stdlib/utils/parse-json' );
```
#### parseJSON( str\[, reviver] )
Parses a `string` as [JSON][json].
```javascript
var out = parseJSON( '{"beep":"boop"}' );
// returns {'beep':'boop'}
```
If unable to parse a `string` as [JSON][json], the function returns an error.
```javascript
var out = parseJSON( 'beep' );
// returns <SyntaxError>
```
To transform the `string` being parsed, provide a `reviver`.
```javascript
function reviver( key, value ) {
if ( key === '' ) {
return value;
}
if ( key === 'beep' ) {
return value;
}
}
var str = '{"beep":"boop","a":"b"}';
var out = parseJSON( str, reviver );
// returns {'beep':'boop'}
```

<section class="notes">
## Notes
- In contrast to the native [`JSON.parse()`][json-parse], this implementation throws a `TypeError` if provided **any** value which is not a `string`.
```javascript
var out = JSON.parse( null );
// returns null
out = parseJSON( null );
// throws <TypeError>
```
- In contrast to the native [`JSON.parse()`][json-parse], this implementation does **not** throw a `SyntaxError` if unable to parse a `string` as [JSON][json].
```javascript
var out = parseJSON( '{"beep":"boop}' );
// returns <SyntaxError>
out = JSON.parse( '{"beep":"boop}' );
// throws <SyntaxError>
```
- In contrast to the native [`JSON.parse()`][json-parse], this implementation throws a `TypeError` if provided a `reviver` argument which is **not** a `function`.
```javascript
var out = JSON.parse( '{"a":"b"}', [] );
// returns {'a':'b'}
out = parseJSON( '{"a":"b"}', [] );
// throws <TypeError>
```

## Examples

out = parseJSON( '3.14' );
// returns 3.14
out = parseJSON( 'true' );
// returns true
out = parseJSON( 'null' );
