Assuming you can be sure each object is valid JSON, this is the best way to do it.

This is because you're passing in single quoted JSON keys/values. Use double quotes.

This string is a variable extracted from json query, this is automatically extracted with string double quotes "{'key': value}", if i replace the single quote with double this string fail: string = string = "{"key": "value"}, {"key": "value"}" notice the double quotes before and after string :S

Instead your example code, I have this: string = string = myVariable; JSON.parse("[" + string + "]") This variable is automatically placed with double quotes "",
