title: Convert Plain String to JSON?
body: <p>I need to convert a string to JSON (in javascript). I have a plain string with correctly formatted JSON in it, like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var convert = '{"name":nick,"age":19}';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need to convert it to just the json (e.g., minus the '' quotes). I have done some testing and found this to be the reason I'm having problems. There must be a way to convert it on the fly, right?</p>
  
  <p>Help very much appreciated,</p>
  
  <p>Nick</p>
