Answer 1

Use JSON JS

Answer 2

To convert JSON text to an object, you can use the eval () function. eval () calls the JavaScript compiler. Since JSON is a proper subset of JavaScript, the compiler will parse the text correctly and create the structure of the object. The text should be wrapped in parens to avoid disabling ambiguity in JavaScript syntax.

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

If the JSON string comes from the server, you can try JSONP . JSON is parsed initially in the browser (quickly) upon loading and without any library.

for example: if you have the answer {"name":"Peter"}

The JSONP answer would be something like this: yourFunction({"name":"Peter"})

yourFunction should be a globally defined function on the page that will receive the call, for example:

 function yourFunction(json){ //do something with the JSON }
