Answer 1

Since array literal notation is still valid JSON, you can use JSON.parse() to convert that string into an array, and from there, use it's values.

var test = "[1,2]";
parsedTest = JSON.parse(test); //an array [1,2]

//access like and array
console.log(parsedTest[0]); //1
console.log(parsedTest[1]); //2
