how can i convert that to object array using jQuery?

• Aniket Sahrawat: It does not look like a string
• M14: use JSON.pase(yourArray)
• sam: Is new Date(2015,9,25) part of your string? If it is, it will throw error.
• kwoxer: JSON.parse ;) it is
• Bharat: Its not string its json array but not properly formatted

Answer 1

Since new Date(2015,9,25) is not valid JSON, than you need to use eval(yourString) to parse your string to valid Object:

console.log(eval('[{ date: new Date(2015,9,25), NAV: 12},{ date: new Date(2016,9,25), NAV: 22}]'));

Answer 2

You can convert to a valid Javascript object using function

JSON.parse(str);

but string should be in valid json format.

Answer 3

try this,

var obj = $.parseJSON(jsonString);
or 
var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(jsonString);

may be this might help

Answer 4

you can convert it to json.parse:

 var json = $.parseJSON(myString)
