What is the point of the JSON.parse method here?

Question

JSON

Tell me, please, what's the point of adding JSON.parse(text) here, if the same thing can be done by referring directly to the object?
var text = '{"name":"John Johnson","street":"Oslo West 16","phone":"555 1234567"}';
var obj = json parse(text);
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =
obj.name + "
" +
obj.street + "
" +
obj.phone;

Answer 1

if the same thing can be done by referring directly to the object?

Try it yourself before asking a question.
hint: text is a string, not an object.
if text is declared an object, then JSON.parse is not needed.
