Convert json string into json object?

I have the following json string:

{"nick":"person1", "text":"hello "}

I want to convert it into a object to access each variable.

I've tried the following:

var obj = $.parseJSON(text);
alert(obj.nick);

Where text is the json string.

This gives and error "Illegal character".

However, if i copy and paste the string itself and insert it into the parseJSON function it works..

Any ideas what could be wrong?

try this:

  var text = '{"nick":"person1", "text":"hello "}';
  var obj = $.parseJSON(text);
  alert(obj.nick);

this is simple json:

 {"nick":"person1", "text":"hello "}

to make it string wrap it with single quotes:

'{"nick":"person1", "text":"hello "}'

Have you put quotes around your var value ?

var text = '{"nick":"person1", "text":"hello "}';

var object = {"nick":"person1", "text":"hello "};
console.log(object.nick);
