title: Convert Array Surrounded By Single Quotes To An Array
body: <p>Deeply nested in a JSON object I have the property <code>value</code>.</p>
  
  <pre><code>actions:
      [ { name: 'InviteUser',
          type: 'button',
          value: '[Brian, Timoney, brian@someemaildomain.com,United States, DEM,  edit me, 1580333]' } ],
     callback_id: 'market_invite',
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>pulled out of the nested JSON it looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>value: '[Brian, Timoney, brian@someemaildomain.com,United States, DEM,  edit me, 1580333]'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a simple way to convert this to an array? The array output I am looking for would be:</p>
  
  <pre><code>["Brian", "Timoney", "brian@someemaildomain.com", "United States", "DEM", "edit me", "1580333"]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Hard to believe I am asking this since it seems very straight-forward but after some time of trying variations of things like <code>Array.from()</code> and <code>JSON.parse()</code> and trying to find a duplicate question on stack overflow, I am left puzzled.</p>
