Converting string to an object

Below is the code I am working on, my goal is to convert string to an actual object and just simply display the data from ajax call. But it seems that the string value cant work this way.

var string = "first: 'George', last: 'Smith'";

$.ajax({
   type: 'POST',
   url: 'ajax.php',
   data: {string}
}).done(data){
   alert(data);
}

What you are looking for is:

  1. Do an AJAX call and receive data.
  2. The received data will be a string, but with a special format, what many use is Json.
  3. You'll create your object "manually".
  4. Then, you'll populate your object's fields with the Json values.

There are plenty of examples on the web.

Can you try this:

var Params= {first: 'George', last: 'Smith'};

$.ajax({
    type: "Post",
                dataType: 'json',
                url: 'ajax.php',
                data: JSON.stringify(Params),
                contentType: 'application/json',}).done(data){
   alert(data);
}
