Answer 1

Replace your var with :

var = '{"name":"angelo","apellido":"enriquez"}'

i.e put the content inside {} within single quotes (') instead of double .

Hope that helps .

Answer 2

First of all you are not writing good json in javascript, replace inner " double quotes with single ' quotes.

var MyJSVar = {'hello':'bra'}

If string

var MyJSVar = "{'hello':'bra'}"
