Question

I’ve the following XML output from an asp.net webservice:

<ArrayOfArrayOfString>     <ArrayOfString>         <string>1710</string>         <string>1711</string>         <string>1712</string>         <string>1713</string>     </ArrayOfString>     <ArrayOfString>         <string>Teleszkóp 350mm gázas</string>         <string>Teleszkóp 150mm olaj</string>         <string>Teleszkóp 260mm olaj sárga</string>         <string>Teleszkóp 260mm első</string>     </ArrayOfString> </ArrayOfArrayOfString> 

I’m using JQuery’s $Ajax to get it from the server, it works fine. It’s converted to a JSON object, but how can I convert it back to a Javascript Array?

update: the problem is, if it’s parsed with eval(), this Array-in-Array becomes one string only!

That’s not a JSON object: it’s xml. JSON essentially is javascript, and would look more like this:

[[‘1710’, ‘1711’, ‘1712’,’1713′], [‘Teleszkóp 350mm gázas’, ‘Teleszkóp 150mm olaj’, ‘Teleszkóp 260mm olaj sárga’, ‘Teleszkóp 260mm első’]]
