I am getting this error when I try to JSON.parse this string "['Answer 1', 'Answer 2']"

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ' in JSON at position 1
    at Object.parse (<anonymous>)
    at <anonymous>:1:6

Can anybody tell me how to do it?

    That is not JSON. Hence why you get the error. Quotes need to be " not ' Commented Nov 9, 2020 at 18:47

You need to replace all single quote(') into double quote(") to parse to javascript array.

const input = "['Answer 1', 'Answer 2']";
const output = JSON.parse(input.replaceAll("'", '"'));
console.log(output);
