It's a JSON string. just use JSON.parse and you'll get array of objects.

it will treat as object array. I just need it to be ordinary array – marice juguilon Mar 08 '17 at 18:10
@maricejuguilon Use map then http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14810506/map-function-for-objects-instead-of-arrays – cymruu Mar 08 '17 at 18:13

Here, the string in events object is not a valid JSON. So u can't use JSON.Parse here. For valid JSON key should be wrapped in double quote eg: {id:...} should be {"id":...}

let input = {
     events: '[{id:"3",title:"activity",start:"2017-03-11 00:00:00",allDay:true},{id:"4",title:"nutrition",start:"2017-03-11 00:00:00",allDay:true}]'
};

let dataToSend = Object.assign({}, input);

dataToSend.events = eval(dataToSend.events);

console.log(dataToSend);

Since, your input sting is still a valid javascript object you can use eval method for conversion. Here I used object.assign to create a copy of your input. So, any modification to dataToSend will not affect your actual input object.

};

eval(obj.events);
