Convert JSON n to HTML < br> tag

rated 0 times [ 55] [ 1] / answers: 1 / hits: 16502 / 8 Years ago, thu, september 8, 2016, 12:00:00

I've been developing a website using the YouTube A.P.I.

Within the description tag in the JSON file are line breaks n

I need to convert these tags to HTML format

VideoDescriptions.push(item.snippet.description);



[Example descriptionnPlease click the link, Another example descriptionnMore info]

Edit:

This question is NOT a duplicate of the linked article because:

It's using the YouTube API to retrieve data

It's necessary to edit from an array rather than the string (as
described in the article)

The answers in either question could lead to different results and
may not apply

You can simply use string replace in javascript:

var items = [Example descriptionnPlease click the linknn, Another example descriptionnMore info];

console.clear();





var changed = items.map(i => i.replace(/n/g, '<br />')).join('');

var div = document.querySelector(#test);

div.innerHTML = changed;

<div id=test></div>
