title: Is there a way to convert string to json object in javascript
body: <p>I am trying to convert list of string into json object.
  My string is : personName + rank.
  This is string is arranged as per the person's rank.
  PS: the backend code is in solidity
  My code so far is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    var ranks = new Array(5);
      PersonNames = Object.keys(names);
      ranks = contractInstance.dashboard.call(PersonNames);// function in solidity
  
      var finalList = [];
      for (var j = 0; j &lt; ranks.length; j++){
        var winList = web3.toAscii(ranks[j]);
        var winCount = contractInstance.RanksFor.call(ranks[j]).toString();
        var person = {};
          person["name"] = winList[j];
          console.log(winList[j]);
          person["ranks"] = winCount[j];
        finalList.push(person);
      }
  var myJSON = JSON.stringify(finalList);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please let me know if I am making use of the correct syntax.
  I am learning how to implement javascript. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!</p>
