How to convert a string into a object

javascript json

You can solve this by many methods but I prefer to use a library like the JSON library from Mr. Douglas Crockford.

If you use the library it is as simple as

var object = JSON.parse('{"apple":30,"orange":50}')alert(object.apple) // will alert 30

The most dangerous and ugly way is to use the eval() function.

eval('object={"apple":30,"orange":50}')alert(object.apple) // will alert 30

Never use this.

The json.org site has references to more json libraries in different languages. Javascript specific information can be found here.
