Convert string to array of json objects, rails 3+

Question

I have this string

astring='[{"name": "daus", "total": "45", "ios": "30", "android": "15"},{"name": "davus", "total": "38", "ios: 27", "android": "11"}]'

and I want to convert it to JSON via

ajson = JSON.parse(astring)

but I receive this error:

JSON::ParserError: 399: unexpected token at '{"name": "davus", "total": "38", "ios: 27", "android": "11"}]'

I'm assuming my error is in the way I'm setting up the initial string but haven't been able to solve it yet.

Syntax error:

"ios: 27" -> "ios": "27"
