    Because that's not JSON. Commented Aug 30, 2014 at 1:01

    JSON does not accept simple quotes as string delimiters, use double quotes instead Commented Aug 30, 2014 at 1:05
  • 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. Commented Aug 30, 2014 at 3:10

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

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