Convert text string into JSON format - Javascript

Question

I have one text string as following :

workingtable;AB8C;book_id;7541;

I would like to convert them into JSON format like : {"workingtable":"AB8C","book_id":"7541"}

Is there any JSON function so that I can convert the raw text string to JSON format like that in Javascript?

Thanks

NO, You will have to write some own custom function, how will any other third party function know where to split your plain text string — Vinay Pratap Singh Bhadauria

@Rex : Thanks, I can separate them by the semi colon ; so should we have the function stringify to convert them after splitting? — bluewonder

What you should do is create a class that will contain those fields and then use a real JSON library like JSON.Net to serialize your object to its JSON representation. — Bun

 var s = "workingtable;AB8C;book_id;7541;";
 var parts = s.split(';');
 var jobj = {};
 for(i=0;i<parts.length;i+=2)
 {
    jobj[parts[i]]=parts[i+1];
 }
 alert(JSON.stringify(jobj));

OUTPUT:

{"workingtable":"AB8C","book_id":"7541"}
