Converting a string to JSON object

Question

var obj = JSON.parse(string);

Where string is your json string.

You can use the JSON.parse() for that.

See docs at MDN

Example:

var myObj = JSON.parse('{"p": 5}');
console.log(myObj);

var obj = jQuery.parseJSON('{"name":"John"}');
alert( obj.name === "John" );

I had the same problem with a similar string like yours

{id:1,field1:"someField"},{id:2,field1:"someOtherField"}

The problem here is the structure of the string. The json parser wasn't recognizing that it needs to create 2 objects in this case. So what I did is kind of silly, I just re-structured my string and added the [] with this the parser recognized

var myString = {id:1,field1:"someField"},{id:2,field1:"someOtherField"}
myString = '[' + myString +']'
var json = $.parseJSON(myString)

Hope it helps,

If anyone has a more elegant approach please share.
