For example, a HTTP REST API just returned me a JSON, but of course it's a string right now. How can I turn it into a JSON?

Answer 1

You need to use this function.

JSON.parse(yourJsonString);

And it will return the object / array that was contained within the string.

Answer 2

use the JSON function >

JSON.parse(theString)
