A very good W3school tutorial can be found here.

Any possible way to convert string format to JSON in javaScript?

   {dataOrList=[{subFlowParam={name=postPrivate_On_Input_OR}, type=SUB_FLOW, tReferenceName=Data_42767_OR_43873}, {subFlowParam={name=postPrivate_On_Input_OR}, type=SUB_FLOW, tReferenceName=Data_42767_OR_43870}], dataOrListInput={Data_42767_OR_43873={DatalRouteId=43873, PrivatePayLoad={name=UpdateLink, payload={"ReadingType": "PRIVATEXplorer;OperationType=Private","TestMeta": {"CustomFields": [{"Name": "LineID","Value": "Line1"},{"Name": "PhaseID","Value": "Phase1"}]}}}}, Data_42767_OR_43870={DatalRouteId=43870, PrivatePayLoad={name=UpdateLink, payload={"ReadingType": "PRIVATEXplorer;OperationType=Private","TestMeta": {"CustomFields": [{"Name": "LineID","Value": "Line1"},{"Name": "PhaseID","Value": "Phase1"}]}}}}}}

    The snippet you posted is improperly formatted. I cleaned up the first string and can use JSON.parse on it like this:

    const foo = JSON.parse(
  `{
    "ReadingType":"PRIVATEXplorer;OperationType=Private",
    "TestMeta": {
      "CustomFields": [
        {
          "Name": "LineID",
          "Value": "Line1"
        },
        {
          "Name": "PhaseID",
          "Value": "Phase1"
        }
      ]
    }
  }`
)

console.log(foo)

    JSON.parse will try to create an object from a JSON string. But your string is not in the JSON format. I think you need to convert this string to JSON first using JSON.stringify(mystring). Assuming this produces the JSON string correctly, you can then use JSON.parse with the output from stringify to create a javascript object. The javascript object will be easier to work with than the JSON string itself.

    e.g.

    var jsonString = JSON.stringify(myString);
var myobject = JSON.parse(jsonString);
