If I want to store abi in contract, which type can be use? and How can I get it later.

For example, if I use bytes to store a contract's abi. How can I use JSON.parse to get it. I have not find a proper api in web3.

I don't see any reason why you would want to store an ABI in a contract. ABI is for interacting with a contract from a node and it's not needed inside the blockchain. Furthermore, storing it in bytes would cost you a lot of gas.

Suggestion: verify the contract on Etherscan, and it will store its ABI for you.

It seems to me that string would be most appropriate.
