Why doesn't JSON.parse behave as expected? In this example, the alert doesn't fire:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Testing JSON.parse</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/json2.js">
// json2.js can be found here: https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js/blob/master/json2.js
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function testJSONParse()
{
var text = '[{"a":"w","b","x"},{"a":"y","b":"z"}]';
alert(JSON.parse(text));
}
window.onload = testJSONParse;
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
In firefox, the Error Console says "JSON.parse". Not very descriptive..
This is a simplification of a problem I have which uses AJAX to fetch data from a database and acquires the result as a JSON string (a string representing a JSON object) of the same form as text in the example above.

Your JSON is not formatted correctly:
var text = '[{"a":"w","b","x"},{"a":"y","b":"z"}]';
^-- This should be a ':'
It should be:
var text = '[{"a":"w","b":"x"},{"a":"y","b":"z"}]';
error in typing
var text = '[{"a":"w","b":"x"},{"a":"y","b":"z"}]';
//below is correct one
var text = '[{"a":"w","b":"x"},{"a":"y","b":"z"}]';
alert(JSON.parse(text));
