How to convert JSON object to specific format

Question

I have a JSON like this:

var commpanyTags = "[{\"label\":\"Citizen\",\"category\":\"Companies\"},{\"label\":\"Citi Bank\",\"category\":\"Counterparties\"}]";

Is it possible to convert it to

var commpanyTags = [ { label: "Citizen", category: "Companies" }, { label: "Citi Bank", category: "Counterparties" } ];

If it is possible, how to do that?

JSON.parse (here) will do the job if you are in JavaScript land.

If you are in C#, then consider using JSON.NET to parse the JavaScript into a C# object.

var commpanyTags = jQuery.parseJSON( commpanyTags );
