Convert Array-String to Object with Javascript or jQuery
here is my array
data=["{X:7,Y:12.5}", "{X:8,Y:15}", "{X:9,Y:12.5}"]
expected output is object
data=[{X:7,Y:12.5},{X:8,Y:15},{X:9,Y:12.5}]
how to do that?

3How do you end up with the objects in a stringified format? You would be better to change how you receive them instead of stringifying/parsing them.Rory McCrossan– Rory McCrossan2016-01-07 08:45:50 +00:00Commented Jan 7, 2016 at 8:45

You can try something like this:
var data=["{X:7,Y:12.5}", "{X:8,Y:15}", "{X:9,Y:12.5}"];
data = data.map(function(item){
item = item.replace(/{/g, "{\"");
item = item.replace(/}/g, "\"}");
item = item.replace(/:/g, "\":\"");
item = item.replace(/,/g, "\",\"");
return JSON.parse(item);
})
console.log(data)

Your answer is better :)
Try this:
data = ["{X:7,Y:12.5}", "{X:8,Y:15}", "{X:9,Y:12.5}"];
data = data.join(',');
data = data.replace(/X/g,'"X"');
data = data.replace(/Y/g,'"Y"');
data = JSON.parse("["+data+"]");
Just convert array to string and do clean up that can be parsed to json.

Simple solution is to replace the X and Y with "X" & "Y". In order to create a string key that can be parse as JSON.
data=["{X:7,Y:12.5}", "{X:8,Y:15}", "{X:9,Y:12.5}"]
for(var i in data){
tmp = data[i].replace("X",'"X"').replace('Y','"Y"')
data[i] = JSON.parse(tmp)
}
Enjoy.

var reg = /[^{,]+?(?=:)/g;
var data = ["{X:7,Y:12.5}", "{X:8,Y:15}", "{X:9,Y:12.5}"];
data = data.map(function(item){
return JSON.parse(item.replace(reg, "\"$&\""));
});
