How to convert string into an array?

Question

I'm working with this page: ITEM INFO

and I turn the page into a string:

var info = document.getElementsByTagName("pre")[0].innerHTML;

The entire page is already in the format of an array, so is there a conversion function that will convert it from the string into an array?

Use JSON.parse(info) to parse JSON text into Javascript Array.

var info = document.getElementsByTagName("pre")[0].innerHTML;
var results = JSON.parse(info);

Now in results variable will be an array of parsed JavaScript objects.
