Un-JSON a String

Is there a function to un-JSON a String? I guessing it wouldn't be built in to JQuery, but could it be pulled off by writing a script that manipulates the String? I'm encountering this in the following.

I'm using the NYTimes API, but it doesn't support JSONP, so I'm trying to find alternatives to access it. I can't use a server-side proxy by virtue of the circumstances this script will be run in. I am trying YQL here, but the text returned is really messy. It is the JSON text as a String, and I can't use the JSON parsing capability. In other words, the text returned by YQL is the JSON of the JSON.

See this question for more context.

If you don't want JSON.parse, but you're looking for a jquery way, then you can use

$.parseJSON(jsonString);
