string = string = '{"key": "value"}, {"key": "value"}'
JSON.parse("[" + string + "]")

Assuming you can be sure each object is valid JSON, this is the best way to do it. –  Dan Sep 30 '13 at 5:03
 
The console get me this error: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ' –  xzegga Sep 30 '13 at 5:07

This is because you're passing in single quoted JSON keys/values. Use double quotes. –  Ryan Bigg Sep 30 '13 at 5:22
 
This string is a variable extracted from json query, this is automatically extracted with string double quotes "{'key': value}", if i replace the single quote with double this string fail: string = string = "{"key": "value"}, {"key": "value"}" notice the double quotes before and after string :S –  xzegga Sep 30 '13 at 5:41
 
Instead your example code, I have this: string = string = myVariable; JSON.parse("[" + string + "]") This variable is automatically placed with double quotes "", –  xzegga Sep 30 '13 at 6:27
