This is probably a pretty known issue, and probably already solved in Stack Overflow, but I've searched without any luck.

I have this array which consists of a JSON-string. I'm trying to loop through the array, and convert the JSON to an observablearray so I can access the properties "value", "name", "price" so I can use it with Knockout.

**Array with JSON :**

```
0
:
"{"value":"382","name":"Entrecoté med poteter og sånt..","price":295.0}"
1
:
"{"value":"385","name":"Svinekoteletter","price":295.0}"
2
:
"{"value":"386","name":"Pizza Margherita","price":255.0}"

```

**Initial loop :**

```
completeArray.forEach(function(c) {
            // convert the json string to an observableArray ??
        });

```

Edited

If someone else comes to find a solution to how to do this, I include the complete example below: 

```
self.addFoodItemsToSubMenu = function (item) {
        var existingFIS = JSON.parse(ko.toJSON(item.foodItemList()));
        var newFIS = JSON.parse(ko.toJSON(self.selectedFoodItems()));
        var completeFIS = existingFIS.concat(newFIS);

        var resultArray = ko.observableArray(completeFIS.map(function (item) {
            var parsedResult = JSON.parse(item);
            var resultObject = {
                value: parsedResult.value,
                name: parsedResult.name,
                price: ko.observable(parsedResult.price)
            }
            return resultObject;
        }));

        item.foodItemList(resultArray());
        self.selectedFoodItems([]);
    }

```
