String with Object to Object

Question

I have the following string:

var arr = "[{'one' : '1'}, {'two' : '2'}]";

How can I pass this string to an object?

I've tried the following but it doesn't seem to work:

arr.split(',');

If this string is coming from a data source, (e.g you're not typing it, and you have no control over it) you should tell them that it is invalid JSON. — Ryan

you must first transform single quotes to double quotes then use JSON.parse

JSON.parse(arr.replace(/'/g,'"'))
