[edit] Modern JSON Handling
Handling JSON may require adding a supporting library, which creates the global JSON object. This object is present natively only in new browsers (e.g. FF 3.5, IE8). Such a library can be found here: http://www.json.org/js.html
//Parsing JSON:
var myObject = JSON.parse(myJSONtext)
//Creating JSON:
var myJSONText = JSON.stringify(myObject);
[edit] Old way
In old browsers you could use the following syntax, but this raises issues of security, such as XSS.
var myObject = eval("(" + myJSONtext + ")")
