You can also use $.parseJSON:

var string = '["YES","NO"]';
var array = $.parseJSON(string);

use the global JSON.parse method

JSON.parse('["YES","NO"]'); // returns ["YES", "NO"]

You can also use the JSON.stringify method to write the array back to a string if thats how you are storing it.

JSON.stringify(["YES", "NO"]); // returns '["YES", "NO"]'

var str= '["YES","NO"]';
var replace= str.replace(/[\[\]]/g,'');
var array = replace.split(',');
