Convert to JS Object

How to convert this to JS object:

{"info":["Image has been added"],"success":["No success Sorry!"]}

JSON.parse throws an error and says &quot isn't valid JSON. Am new to JS and can't figure out how to deal with this.

I am using connect-flash from express to transfer flash messages to the client side. For doing so, I am using the following code:

if Object.keys(locals.flashes).length !== 0
    script.
      flashArr="#{JSON.stringify(locals.flashes)}"

On the client side, the representation of the Object isn't valid JSON. How can I handle this.

As suggested, you need to parse the HTML entities to characters, i.e. convert " to ". The simplest way is to use a regular expression:

var str = '{"info":["Image has been added"],"success":["No success Sorry!"]}';

var obj = JSON.parse(str.replace(/"/g,'"'));
console.log(obj);

Of course if you have other HTML entities in the code it might be better to use the built-in HTML parser:

var str = '{"info":["Image has been added"],"success":["No success Sorry!"]}';

var el = document.createElement('div');
el.innerHTML = str;

var obj = JSON.parse(el.textContent);
console.log(obj);

But for a single entity, replace is likely faster and more efficient.
