JSON Parsing in AngularJS Service

I have Angular service and in that service I have a code: 

this.testMethod = function( ) {
    this.jsonTest = "[{'id':'123','title':'XYZ','id2':'456','status':2}]";
    this.parseTest(this.jsonTest);
};

this.parseTest = function(jsonTest) {
    var jsonTestObj = JSON.parse(jsonTest); // I get error hear
}

Test method is getting called on ng-click event.
Error that I am getting while testing in latest chrome browser: 

SyntaxError: Unexpected token ' at Object.parse (native)
......

I tried multiple things to fix it but nothing seems to work.
Every time I get undefined value error.

Basically I want to parse JSON object and get the values.
What am I doing wrong?

Your JSON is not valid. Always check your JSON integrity in those cases, i personaly use

http://jsonlint.com/

Use this

this.jsonTest = '[{"id":"123","title":"XYZ","id2":"456","status": "2"}]';

Or this

this.jsonTest = "[{\"id\":\"123\",\"title\":\"XYZ\",\"id2\":\"456\",\"status\": \"2\"}]";

You either need to use ' outside or " outside and escape the quotes inside.

Both the key and value need to be in double quotes.

You need to use double quotes in your string, other than that your code should work.

To quote from specification

A value can be a string in double quotes, or a number, or true or false or null, or an object or an array. These structures can be nested.
