I have a string like
params="domain:Abcd-E-Group,domaintype:com,Submit1:Search"

Now i want to convert this to

obj={domain:"Abcd-E-Group",domaintype:"com",Submit1:"Search"}

What I have tried:

I have tried JSON.parse(params); and eval(params);

Both are not working for me.

For the JSON.parse() to work, the string params must be in correct JSON syntax[^]
Try this:

C#

var params = '[{"domain":"Abcd-E-Group","domaintype":"com","Submit1":"Search"}]';
obj = JSON.parse(params);
alert(obj[0].domain);

I got my Solution with this.

obj={};
var params="domain:Abcd-E-Group,domaintype:com,Submit1:Search";

var KeyVal = params.split(",");

var i;
for (i in KeyVal) {
KeyVal[i] = KeyVal[i].split(":");
obj[KeyVal[i][0]]=KeyVal[i][1];
}
