Convert given String to Json Object Javascript

Question

I have a String like this :

var str = [sa_user{username=pankaj123, userType=dataentry}, sa_user{username=data, userType=dataentry}, sa_user{username=PANKAJ, userType=parcel}, sa_user{username=davender, userType=parcel}, sa_user{username=delhiparcel, userType=dataentry}, sa_user{username=devender, userType=dataentry}, sa_user{username=amit123, userType=dataentry}, sa_user{username=sanjay, userType=dataentry}, sa_user{username=MUKESH, userType=dataentry}, sa_user{username=test, userType=dataentry}, sa_user{username=vijaykumar, userType=dataentry}, sa_user{username=puran123, userType=dataentry}, sa_user{username=sanjaykumar, userType=dataentry}, sa_user{username=nelsonanthony, userType=dataentry}, sa_user{username=ishan, userType=dataentry}, sa_user{username=manoj, userType=parcel}, sa_user{username=ranjeet, userType=dataentry}, sa_user{username=DEEPAK, userType=dataentry}, sa_user{username=ASHISH, userType=dataentry}, sa_user{username=arjun, userType=dataentry}]

I want to convert the given into JSon Object or any other data-type to access every Object variables username and usertype.

Since, the String is not in the valid form to convert into JSon Object, then how can I access the variables?

You don't have a string. Should what is being assigned to str be enclosed in quotes? — Graham

I've got this String from server, not initialized it here, this is just an example...@Graham — earthmover

convert to json string at server, can't you convert to json string using JavaScriptSerializer (in .netframework if you are using that) before sending to client ? — Amir Sherafatian

You need to parse the string, convert it to a valid json string and then in javascript you can do something like this to get the object:

var myJsonString = ""; // your json string
var obj = JSON.parse(myJsonString);

EDIT: Just put together a jsfiddle with a solution, it could be better, but it gets the job done for your specific case.

your json string should look like this to parse.

var strJson = "[
                   {'username':'pankaj123', 'userType':'dataentry'}, 
                   {'username':'data', 'userType':'dataentry'}, 
                   {'username':'PANKAJ', userType':parcel'}, 
                   ....
               ]";

now solve what to do with your current string to make it like this.
