JavaScript read as Json

// The JSON.parse() method parses a JSON string, constructing the JavaScript value or object described by the string.
// An optional reviver function can be provided to perform a transformation on the resulting object before it is returned.

//NOTE: JSON.parse() does not allow single quotes around items

//Example: 
var obj = JSON.parse('{ "name":"John", "age":30, "city":"New York"}');
