title: Javascript convert to array
body: <p>I need to create an array of objects, with each object containing fields  "LicenseRefNo", "FPPRNO" etc.</p>
  
  <p>The website makes an ajax call to a C# controller which currently returns the following json:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"[{\"LicenseRefNo\":\"17/00031/HMO\",\"FPPRNO\":\"AGE146\"},{\"LicenseRefNo\":\"16/00031/HMO\",\"FPPRNO\":\"AGE146\"}]"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This seems to be <strong>almost</strong> correct but I need to set this as a gridOptions.data property of a KOGrid. It seems the javascript code is then running into a problem because the KOGrid needs to be an observable array, and to create one of these I need a javascript array.</p>
  
  <p>How can I convert the string I have into an array please?</p>
