API

stringToBoolean(stringValue)

This function takes a string value as input and returns a boolean value based on the following rules:

  • If the string value is one of 'true', 'True', 'TRUE', 'yes', or '1', it returns true.
  • If the string value is one of 'false', 'False', 'FALSE', 'no', '0', null, or undefined, it returns false.
  • For any other string value, it attempts to parse it using JSON.parse and returns the parsed boolean value. If parsing fails, it throws a SyntaxError.
