convert string to json array

rated 0 times [ 81] [ 6] / answers: 1 / hits: 28641 / 14 Years ago, wed, october 6, 2010, 12:00:00

I get this response from an Ajax request.
Javascript seems to intepret it as a string.
(When I say alert this.responseText, the whole string is shown)

How can i convert it to a javascript object (JSON)?

{response: {

   success: The activity has been removed,

   message: 0



  }

}

I am not using jquery.

It's not the safest thing in the world, but you can do this:

var value = null, txt = this.responseText;

eval(value = ( + txt + ));

It might be a little safer to do:

var value = null, txt = this.responseText;

!function(window) { eval(value = ( + txt + )); }();

but there are still all sorts of potential hacks. You're better off using a library.
