JSON.parse or parseJSON

[d.healey]

Is there a way to convert a string to JSON? If not, could we get one?

@d-healey You can write it to a file, then load it back with File.loadFileFromObject(). Or if you don't want to do the equivalent of printing out an email and then scan it to send a PDF because you don't know the Export to PDF function, you can add a wrapper around the JUCE function JSON::parse

The Javascript standard seems to be JSON.parse(), but I don't want to add a API class just for that single method, so we could add it to the String class?

var x = "1234";
var xAsObj = x.parseAsJSON();

// This is already possible
var xAsObjAsText = trace(xAsObj);

@christoph-hart Sounds good to me. I'll add it to the API. Thanks!
