title: Converting JSON string to a JSON object in Scala
body: <p>I want to convert a simple JSON string such as <code>{"Name":"abc", "age":10}</code> to the corresponding JSON object (not a custom Scala object such as "Person"). Does Scala support any in-built methods to convert a String to a JSON object? </p>
  
  <p>I'm not going to have any complex JSON operations. I just need to convert the String to a JSON object. What is the simplest way to do this? I'm new to Scala, so I apologize if this question sounds very basic.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
