How to get an array from JSON format in Javascript?

Question

I have something like this ...

["a","b","c"] 

I got it from a PHP array using json_decode (). I am very weak in JavaScript, but I need to get an array in Javascript, so I can use it with jQuery UI -> Autocomplete, like this ...

 source: [ 'a', 'b', 'c' ] 

Can I use only Javascript or do you need a Javascript library to use JSON?

Hey, you can only do this with javascript:

 var arrayToUse = ["a","b","c"]; 

JSON stands for Javascript Object Notation, and this is the standard notation for javascript objects. You do not need a special library to use it. Example,

If you want to create an object in javascript, you would do something like:

 var person = { name : 'somename', source : arrayToUse }; 

This is a javascript object in JSON notation
