Question

I have got below string values in a variable.

var mystring = '{"img_src":"/english/images/spa.jpg",
    "img_title":"Enjoy a refreshing shower at 43,000 feet",
    "img_alt":"Enjoy a refreshing shower at 43,000 feet",
    "img_height":"326",
    "img_width":"980",
    "header":"Enjoy a refreshing shower at 43,000 feet",
    "subheader":"One of many groundbreaking amenities",
    "bg_color":"",
    "url_href":"1"}, 
     {"img_src":"/english/images/spa1.jpg",
    "img_title":"Enjoy a refreshing shower at 43,000 feet",
    "img_alt":"Enjoy a refreshing shower at 43,000 feet",
    "img_height":"326",
    "img_width":"980",
    "header":"Enjoy a refreshing shower at 43,000 feet",
    "subheader":"One of many groundbreaking amenities",
    "bg_color":"",
    "url_href":"1"}'

Now I want to convert this string variable into Array object. So that If I try to access it my function it should behave like an array object. For example.

some code to Convert(mystring) to an Array Object(myArryObject), then I want to pass it to my function like below

$.fn.liveBanner = function(myArryObject,optional_options) 
    { 
      //here I want to access my myArryObject as below
      alert(myArryObject[0].img_src) //then it should give "/english/images/spa.jpg"
});

Please suggest using JQuery.

EDIT:

I did the changes as suggested by @Deceze, please see below:

             var myString = "'"+ $("#RotationImages #mainHidden").attr("value")+"'";     

    var myArrayobj = jQuery.parseJSON('[' + myString + ']');
    alert(myArrayobj.img_src);

the above code is giving below error

Error: uncaught exception: Invalid JSON:'{"img_src":"/english/images/spa.jpg", "img_title":"Enjoy a refreshing shower at 43,000 feet","img_alt":"Enjoy a refreshing shower at 43,000 feet", "img_height":"326","img_width":"980","header":"Enjoy a refreshing shower at 43,000 feet","subheader":"One of many groundbreaking amenities on the Flight","bg_color":"","url_href":"1"}'

As your string only contains the objects inside the array, you have to add the array declaration before you parse it:

var myArrayobj = jQuery.parseJSON('[' + myString + ']');
