How to add string to array?

Question

Example:

var imageBounds = [[40.712216, -74.22655], [46.773941, -79.12544]];

I need to create same from js. The problem that I am getting data in string format:

[40.712216, -74.22655], [46.773941, -79.12544]

so:

var mystr = "[40.712216, -74.22655], [46.773941, -79.12544]"

Ok, lets create empty array:

var myarr = []; // empty array

but how to add data to it? I know about push method but it's work only with arrays, and I have got text.

Make it valid JSON (by adding [ at beginning and ] at ending) afterward parse the string using JSON.parse method.

var mystr = "[40.712216, -74.22655], [46.773941, -79.12544]";

var res = JSON.parse('[' + mystr + ']');

console.log(res);
