Passing in a malformed JSON string may result in an exception being
thrown. For example, the following are all malformed JSON strings:
-
{test: 1}(test does not have double quotes around it). -
{'test': 1}('test' is using single quotes instead of double quotes).
JSON.parse, jQuery uses it to parse the string. For details on the JSON format, see http://json.org/.

Parse a JSON string.
var obj = jQuery.parseJSON('{"name":"John"}');
alert( obj.name === "John" );
