Convert array of string to JAVASCRIPT object

I got problem, I've array of string as 

[
    "Time:25/10/2019 14:49:47.41,Server:Daniel.Europe.A…itical,Area:Europe,Site:,Station:Aberdeen,Stream:", 
    "Time:25/10/2019 14:49:48.16,Server:Daniel.Europe.U…,Area:Europe,Site:United Kingdom,Station:,Stream:"
]

I need to convert it to Object 

[
    {"Time" : "25/10/2019 14:49:47.41", "Server", "Daniel.Europe..", .. },
    {}
]

likewise.

JSON.parse won't work on non-serialized string.

You have to split your strings by commas and colons. Only problem is that your time string has a bunch of colons in it. Here is a start.

var a = [
    "Time:25/10/2019 14:49:47.41,Server:Daniel.Europe.A…itical,Area:Europe,Site:,Station:Aberdeen,Stream:", 
    "Time:25/10/2019 14:49:48.16,Server:Daniel.Europe.U…,Area:Europe,Site:United Kingdom,Station:,Stream:"
];

b = a.map(function(line) {
  var obj = {};
  line.split(",").forEach(function(item) {
    kv = item.split(/:(.+)/,2);
    obj[kv[0]]=kv[1];
  });
  return obj;
});

console.log(b);

You can get it using map and reduce:

const arr = [
    "Time:25/10/2019 14:49:47.41,Server:Daniel.Europe.A…itical,Area:Europe,Site:,Station:Aberdeen,Stream:", 
    "Time:25/10/2019 14:49:48.16,Server:Daniel.Europe.U…,Area:Europe,Site:United Kingdom,Station:,Stream:"
]

const newArr = arr.map(item => {
return item.split(",").reduce((acc, curr) => {  
  const label = curr.split(":")[0];
  const value = curr.substring(label.length+1)
  acc[curr.split(":")[0]] = value
  return acc;
},{})
})

console.log(newArr)

Using Object.fromEntries()

var data = [
  "Time:25/10/2019 14:49:47.41,Server:Daniel.Europe.A…itical,Area:Europe,Site:,Station:Aberdeen,Stream:",
  "Time:25/10/2019 14:49:48.16,Server:Daniel.Europe.U…,Area:Europe,Site:United Kingdom,Station:,Stream:"
]

var result = data.map(v => 
  Object.fromEntries(v.split(',').map(v => v.split(/:(.*)/)))
)

console.log(result)

Something like this should work:

input.map(v => v.split(',').map(v => {
    const [key, ...value] = v.split(':');
    const obj = {};
    obj[key] = value.join(':');
    return obj;
}))
