Pass JSON string directly to Plotly

plotly.js
1

I’m trying to specify both the data and layout of my plot with JSON. Is this possible?

From googling, I found an example with Plotly.d3.json, which almost does what I want, but it downloads the JSON from a URL – I can’t seem to pass a JSON string directly. I couldn’t find any documentation on it though.

Something like:

var myJson = '{"data":[{"y":[1,2,3]}],"layout":{"title":"my graph"}}';
var figure = JSON.parse(myJson);

Plotly.newPlot('graph-div', figure.data, figure.layout);

should do the trick.
