title: Convert javascript string to an array
body: <p>I'm retrieving an array of objects from a hidden html input field.  The string I'm getting is: </p>
  
  <pre><code>"{"id":"1234","name":"john smith","email":"jsmith@blah.com"},{"id":"4431","name":"marry doe","email":"mdoe@blah.com"}"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now I need to pass this as an array  of objects again. How do I convert this string into array of objects?</p>
