Answer 1

Using jQuery:

var str = '{"id":1,"name":"Test1"},{"id":2,"name":"Test2"}';
var jsonObj = $.parseJSON('[' + str + ']');

jsonObj is your JSON object.

Answer 2

As simple as that.

var str = '{"id":1,"name":"Test1"},{"id":2,"name":"Test2"}';
 dataObj = JSON.parse(str);

Answer 3

As Luca indicated, add extra [] to your string and use the code below:

var myObject = eval('(' + myJSONtext + ')');

to test it you can use the snippet below.

var s =" [{'id':1,'name':'Test1'},{'id':2,'name':'Test2'}]";
var myObject = eval('(' + s + ')');
for (i in myObject)
{
   alert(myObject[i]["name"]);
}

hope it helps..
