converting String to Json - javascript

Question

Hi I'm trying to convert a string like this:

{'2': [1], '0': [1]}

to json using JSON.parse in javascript but it keeps saying

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '

can anyone help me with this, thanks

JSON does not accept simple quotes as string delimiters, use double quotes instead — a-d

Could it be that you are trying to convert a string to an object? Because that's what JSON.parse does: It converts JSON to a JavaScript value. It does not convert to JSON, that's what JSON.stringify does. JSON is a language-independent, textual data exchange format, it's not a JavaScript value / data type. — Felix Kling

You need to wrap it with curly braces to make it work. ex. This will work fine.

"{"0":[1],"2":[1]}"
