JSON Object to String

import 'dart:convert';

After the import, you can add the following code or wrap it around a function.

const data = {'text': 'foo', 'value': 2, 'status': false};
final String jsonString = jsonEncode(data);
print(jsonString);
// Output
// {"text":"foo","value":2,"status":false,"extra":null}

String to JSON Object

To convert a String into a object in dart use the following code:

const String responseAPIData = '[{"id":1,"name":"Service1"},{"id":2,"name":"Service2"}]';
final dataResp = json.decode(responseAPIData);
// Print the name of the second product in the list     print(dataResp[1]['name']);
// Output -> Service2
