Need help in php array to json

Having an array 

`Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [operative] => 2
            [start] =>  01:00:00
            [end] =>  13:00:00
            [color] => 543939
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [operative] => 3
            [start] =>  08:00:00
            [end] =>  09:00:00
            [color] => 52e612
        )

)

`

need to change this into JSON so I use json_encode(), I get a string
[{"operative":"2","start":" 01:00:00","end":" 13:00:00","color":"543939"},{"operative":"3","start":" 08:00:00","end":" 09:00:00","color":"52e612"}]

but when I am using JSON into JavaScript by function $.parseJSON() or JSON.parse(), both are giving me not defined.

ok I have used it like this 

options1 = '[{"operative":"2","start":" 01:00:00","end":" 13:00:00","color":"543939"},{"operative":"3","start":" 08:00:00","end":" 09:00:00","color":"52e612"}]'
options1 = $.parseJSON(options1);
alert($.param(options1));

But alert is showing me undefined=&undefined=

It looks like you're echo-ing that json encoded string into your javascript. You can do this, and just leave the quotes out:

var options = <?= json_encode($array); ?>;

JSON is an acronym for JavaScript Object Notation. Echoing it into a JS script results in valid javascript arrays and object literals. No need to parse it at all.

Use parseJSON() 

done(function (jsonresponse) {
var obj = $.parseJSON(jsonresponse);        
console.log(obj);
};

Until you show your code I am assuming that this is what you did:

var object = $.parseJSON(<?php echo json_encode($array)?>);

and this wont work because parseJSON expects a string as a parameter.

so the solution will be:

var object = $.parseJSON('<?php echo json_encode($array)?>');

Note that it is surrounded by quotes.

JSON.parse() expects the argument to be a string. Make your JSON data a string by surrounding it with 'single-quotes' (because you've used "double quotes" inside the JSON already)

If you are using $.parseJSON() -function, the parseable data should be string:

var json = '[{"operative":"2","start":" 01:00:00","end":" 13:00:00","color":"543939"},{"operative":"3","start":" 08:00:00","end":" 09:00:00","color":"52e612"}]';

console.log($.parseJSON(json));
