Error parsing string to JSON

Question

I have a below String in Ruby. is there any way by which i can convert this string into JSON

{
    drawer: {
        stations: {
            tv: {
                header: "TV Channels",
                logos: {
                    one: "www1",
                    two: "www2",
                    three: "www3"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Ideally there should be double quotes before and after the terms( like "drawer" instead of drawer). But the data returned from server is in the above format.

I am trying to use the JSON library to parse the string.

Yes i have referred this question. My question is little bit different , because the string which i am using is not a proper valid JSON. I wanted to check if there is a way by which we convert string to valid string for JSON conversion .. — Dheeraj Tyagi, Oct 23 '13 at 12:18
What kind of format is this and where does the string come from? — Stefan, Oct 23 '13 at 13:16
