After a manipultion of a JSON object i have a string like:

[{ContextID:'7',Title:'Rona',TypeId:'1',Children:[{ContextID:'8',Title:'Site internet',TypeId:'2',Children:'null'},{ContextID:'9',Title:'Magasins',TypeId:'2',Children:[{ContextID:'10',Title:'RONA Quincaillerie Delorimier Inc.',TypeId:'4',Children:[{ContextID:'11',Title:'Caisse',TypeId:'3',Children:[{ContextID:'12',Title:'Retour marchandise',TypeId:'3',Children:'null'}]}]}]}]

I want to transform it an array in javascript to pass it to angularjs-ui-tree like this one. I have tried JSON.parse() but it doesn't work

[{ContextID:'7',Title:'Rona',TypeId:'1',Children:[{ContextID:'8',Title:'Site internet',TypeId:'2',Children:'null'},{ContextID:'9',Title:'Magasins',TypeId:'2',Children:[{ContextID:'10',Title:'RONA Quincaillerie Delorimier Inc.',TypeId:'4',Children:[{ContextID:'11',Title:'Caisse',TypeId:'3',Children:[{ContextID:'12',Title:'Retour marchandise',TypeId:'3',Children:'null'}]}]}]}]

Why don't you properly format and formulate your question first? – Florian Nov 26 '15 at 15:58
    
What kind of sorcery is this? Please read how to ask page before asking any question(s) in the future. Please. – Gökay Gürcan Nov 26 '15 at 16:04
    
I feel like JSON.parse() should work. What did you try, what were the results? – OscuroAA Nov 26 '15 at 16:11

I ran the JSON you provided through a JSON validator and received the following error message:

The JSON input is NOT valid according to RFC 4627 (JSON specification). Unexpected End Of File position 376: null

It appears that your JSON is missing }] at the end. By adding those two characters, the validator verified that the JSON string is valid.

I'm not sure what you are asking for related to angularjs-ui-tree, but having valid JSON is a step in the right direction.

Your JSON string might be malformed. Try wrapping both keys and values on double quotes (").

After running your JSON through JSONLint I realized you need to use double quotes around your keys (ContextID etc) to properly parse it.

You might also want to consider not putting quotes around numeric values.
