How do I convert a multi dimensional JSON object into javascript array

I have a JSON object which looks like this:

[{"tabname":"orders","datagroups":[{"dataname":"ordersToday","datavalue":9},{"dataname":"orders30Days","datavalue":126}]}]

When I use console.log($.parseJSON(thedata)) I just get the word Object and no actual data.

How do I organise this data into a multidimensional javascript array? so that it looks something like this: 

array("tabname"=>"orders", "datagroup"=>array(array("dataname"=>"ordersToday", "datavalue"=>9),array("dataname"=>"orders30Days","datavalue"=>126)))

Thanks to everyone for contributing. I took a break then came back and figured it out. The way my brain works is all wrong.

To access the individual values, I needed to do something like this: 

var orderStats = $.parseJSON(data);
console.log(orderStats[0].datagroups[0].dataname);

It's quite simple, really.
You can simply use jQuery's $.parseJSON (jsonString).

It is an array:

var json = '[{"tabname":"orders","datagroups":[{"dataname":"ordersToday","datavalue":9},{"dataname":"orders30Days","datavalue":126}]}]';

var obj = $.parseJSON(json);

Array.isArray(obj) // => true
